This exhibit displays Coco Chanel’s life as an innovator and activist. Not only did she break barriers in women’s fashion, but she also broke barriers in women’s rights. By eliminating Victorian-style corsets and long skirts, she created practicality and mobility through looser-fitting clothing. This then led to more independence and freedom for women to leave domestic roles at home.
