“Without black, no color has any depth. But if you mix black with everything, suddenly there's shadow - no, not just shadow, but fullness. You've got to be willing to mix black into your palette if you want to create something that's real.” – Amy Grant
Black is, without a doubt, a powerful color. How so? Because the color itself can inspire emotions that can often be overpowering. In fashion, its classic color makes every dress a bit more sophisticated. Another plus, is the slimming effect it gives the wearer no matter the body figure. That’s probably one of the reasons why most women would choose a black dress when attending formal junctures. Acquainted with sophistication in fashion, black has been a color that has always been associated with Chanel. Founded by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel during the early 1900s, Chanel is among the most influential names in the fashion industry that mainly focuses on haute couture. The company has become more influential with high-profile models as part of their lineup-a lineup which also includes Hollywood stars Nicole Kidman and Marilyn Monroe.
The “back to basics” designs of Chanel have transformed the fashion industry in a huge scale and are constantly finding ways to revolutionize it. This meant diversifying their collection from clothing to fine jewelries like the famous Chanel J12 watch collection.
The Chanel J12 unisex timepieces are made in the company’s Swiss workshops. The ceramic composition of the J12 creates a distinction between the typical leather and metal timepieces. The simplicity of the watches makes it a stunning collection, which leaves a strong impression to whoever sees it. The collections boast a unisex element that removes the barrier between man and woman.
The unfussy color choices and style creates a contemporary yet sophisticated air for the J12. The timepiece collection has 23 variations to choose from: black ceramic, white ceramic, black with diamonds, white with diamonds, and a lot more. Added in the collection is the 42mm Superleggera chronograph timepiece. Celebrities who own a J12 includes Ashley Tisdale, Jessica Simpson, and mother-daughter Sharon and Kelly Osbourne.
The freedom that the Chanel J12 provides with its unisex features makes it one of the most desired Chanel creations. But Chanel watches are absolutely hard to come by unless you’ve got the money for it. If you don’t then you could just switch to J12-like watches and other Chanel-like jewelries from online
wholesale jewelry stores which also provide a stylish range of fashion accessories.
So, whether it’s Chanel or not, going back to the basics of fashion, like the sophistication brought by the plainness of black, will surely put you on the right track. Simple choices can be made to extraordinary feats like what Coco Chanel has done.
