Chanel Style Clothing On a Budget

You cannot deny the impact that Coco Chanel has had on the fashion industry. She changed womenswear forever and offered us an alternative to layers of underwear and corsets. Today the movie Coco Before Chanel is released telling the story of her younger years, and the film has encouraged many other design houses to reflect her designs in their work. Here are ten key items which will help you get the classic Chanel style without the heft price tag. As she once said, "Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”

Chanel Fash-Mob Hits London

Unless you've been hiding somewhere that the internet doesn't reach for the past month, you'll be aware that the long-awaited Coco Before Chanel film is finally released across the UK today.

Unless you've been hiding somewhere that the internet doesn't reach for the past month, you'll be aware that the long-awaited Coco Before Chanel film is finally released across the UK today. The story of Gabriella "Coco'" Chanel's early life stars Audrey Tatou and is sure to impress, not least because of its Karl Lagerfeld guided wardrobe. Last night, the Queens of Vintage organised the first ever fash-mob event at London's St Pancras station (aptly where Eurostar departs for Paris) as stylish ladies put on their best Chanel and pearls (or nearest thing) and grouped together to celebrate the film's release. I went down there to check it out and was not disappointed by the tweed jackets, quilted handbags and even a bottle of Chanel No. 5. Click through to see photos of some of the stylish women (and men) in attendance.
