Chanel S.A., commonly known as CHANEL , is a French
fashion house founded by the couturier Gabrielle
"Coco" Chanel, well established in haute couture,
 specializing in luxury goods (haute couture,
ready-to-wear, handbags, perfumery, and cosmetics
among others). She gained the name "Coco" while
 maintaining a career as a singer at a café in France.
 Chanel has catered to tastes in items such as simple
suits, dresses, women's pants, and costume jewelry.
Coco Chanel's vision was to replace such opulent, 'sexy'
pieces with items which conveyed casual elegance. Today,
Chanel is most famous for the "little black dress".
According to Forbes, the privately held House of Chanel
 is jointly owned by Alain Wertheimer and Gerard
Wertheimer who are the great-grandsons of the early
 (1924) Chanel partner Pierre Wertheimer.

The company has had many high-profile
 celebrities as spokesmodels, including
Catherine Deneuve (1970s and '80s Chanel No. 5
spokesmodel), Carole Bouquet (1990s Chanel No. 5 spokesmodel),
 Vanessa Paradis (spokesmodel for Coco Perfume),
Nicole Kidman (early 2000s Chanel No. 5 spokesmodel),
Audrey Tautou (current Chanel No.5 spokesmodel),
 Keira Knightley (current spokesmodel for Coco Mademoiselle),
 and most famously, Marilyn Monroe (1950s Chanel
No. 5 spokesmodel) pictured splashing herself with
Chanel No. 5. The image is certainly the most famous
 of all Chanel advertisements, and continues to be one
 of the most popular advertisement photos in the
history of marketing, used in countless biographies,
 and still selling in large quantities as a poster and
 art piece using Marilyn Monroe as the model. Marilyn
Monroe brought this perfume to fame.
