Am not sure if this is the look i wont as my editorial look, however and very pleased by look.

Choosen brand

I have chosen Chanel as the brand to look at and also to research. I fill that Chanel has a lot of rich history and also has over the years maintained a good reputation.

History
Chanel was found by Gabrielle Chanel in 1910, when she opened her first shop at 21 Rue Combom in Paris, creating huts under the name Chanel model. She letter opened a new Boutique, in Deaulille France and introduced a spot wear collection. has her reputation became firmly established, Chanel opened her first couture house in Biarritz, France in 1915.

In the year 1921 Chanel introduced the No5 fragrance which has become timeless. Chanel No5 really become the perfume to have . In a 1954 interview with Marilyn Monroe famously answered the question "What do you wear to bed?" with the line "Just a few drops of No5". This one statement made Chanel N05 perfume grew increasingly popular. 

Chanel went on to lounch different fragrance, but the No5 still remains the most iconic one. Her clothing also were and are still very coveted by many. Her cloths were worn by many celebrated stars such as Elizabeth Tyler, Jone Fonda and Jackie kennedy in the 60s. Chanel also created the legendary two tone shoes that were designed to make the foot look smaller and longer.

Chanel n.o 5

History of Chanel n.o 5

The cosmetic side of Chanel started about 5 years ago, with there very popular perfume called NO5

.

In the 50s, Chanel No5 really was the perfume to have. In a 1954 interview, Marilyn Monroe  famously answered the question "What do you wear to bed?" with the line "Just a few drops of No5". The popularity of the perfume grew more and more. 
In the 70s  it was decided that No5 had lost its torch, so it was reinvented and made less widely available in order to make it more exclusive. Huge advertising campaigns were introduced and done using big name directors and big name stars - a Chanel tradition that still lives on to this day.
Chanel over the years has pride its self as been a high end product. However they have some products that are affordable and available, fro-example their nail polish rang which though it expensive compered to other bland it is affordable and excisable to more people.
