The Chanel logo was designed in 1925 by Gabrielle Chanel herself and remains unchanged since.

Chanel ranks among the most valuable luxury brands globally, boasting an estimated brand value of $11 billion. This esteemed French fashion label is renowned for its expertise in creating fashionable accessories, luxury goods, and high-end ready-to-wear clothing. The brand's strategy specifically targets the affluent elite who can afford its premium prices.

Founded in 1909 by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, the company was born from her vision to craft something exceptional using rare materials and creativity for women.

The iconic Chanel logo, designed by Coco Chanel in 1925, has remained unchanged and features the unmistakable overlapping double 'C'—one facing forward and the other backward. This emblem serves as a timeless nod to both past and future fashion trends. With meticulous attention to detail in its fashion, accessories, perfumes, and store designs, Chanel is synonymous with superior quality.

So, what drives consumers to purchase Chanel products? It is the distinctive personality, vision, and mission embedded in the brand strategy. Those with a true appreciation for exclusivity find themselves irresistibly drawn to the exceptional offerings of Chanel.

In today's ever-evolving consumer landscape, successfully creating a brand image that can adapt while staying true to its core mission is essential. The graphic silhouette of the Chanel Spring-Summer 2017 campaign, directed by Karl Lagerfeld, plays with contrasting themes. The designer enlisted supermodel Arizona Muse to embody the transformation from youth to maturity, blending contemporary aesthetics with playful nods to the Japanese subculture “Lolita,” which emerged in the late 1980s.

This campaign showcases the magnetic interplay of opposites, merging the feminine allure of lingerie with innovative fabric materials and playful allusions to the digital realm. Throughout the campaign, the model shifts effortlessly between different personas, oscillating from cyberpunk chic to timeless elegance, all while featuring bold, 80s and 90s-inspired motifs and striking makeup.
