CURTIS  SLIWA ~ DRIVE AT FIVE

COCO CHANEL ~ THE WOMAN, THE LEGEND 

North  Shore Towers Women's  Club

“Fashion fades, only style remains,” Coco Chanel said in the 1920’s, and she should know. She took women out of crinolines and put them in pants, draped them in jersey, and made junk jewelry chic. One hundred years later her style savvy is still influencing how women dress.
