26 of The Most Dangerous Female Criminals The World Has Seen Till Date
4. Coco Chanel: She Thought For Herself And All Women
Not a ruler, murderer, or radical activist, but Coco Chanel did something that we now take for granted. Put pants on women, fashionably!
An activist in her own right, Coco Chanel liberated women from the confines of the corset and redesigned the female silhouette as free-flowing. She made pants fashionable and introduced tweed and jersey as “wearable” fabrics instead of just undergarments that they had been used for up until then.
Despite claims and counter-claims of Coco having been a Nazi spy, nothing was proven and Winston Churchill himself was instrumental in having her acquitted from these accusations. That said, Coco lived life on her terms and decided that fashion did not have to be uncomfortable and style did not have to mean being slowly choked to death by corsets!
Why was she dangerous? For she decided the womanly form needed to be as comfortable as its stylish and only by being unbound and free can it truly be beautiful.
