When people talk about "Chanel" they think about "Chanel suit".

Back in 1938, Coco Chanel created this red ruby silk velvet suit with flare skirt.

The original inspiration came from a masquerade party that she attended.

Chanel successfully combined both contemporary and historical styles to this garment. The tailored suit was later bought by Diana Vreeland.
