Coco Chanel, who learned to sew in the orphanage where she was sent after her mother died, opened her first shop when she was 27, and soon her idea of turning a jersey shirt into a dress set the world of fashion on fire. And she never stopped moving the field forward – Chanel No. 5 perfume, the Chanel suit and little black dress all sprung from her imagination.

Follow the ride through the career of Hubert de Givenchy who opened his fashion house in 1952, just a year later began his long run supplying Audrey Hepburn outfits for such classic films as ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’ and ‘Funny Face,’ and over the years has also dressed many other fashion icons, including Princess Grace of Monaco and Jacqueline Kennedy.

Travel back to the 1920s as we take a special look at some of the earliest supermodels, women who were among the first to rock the catwalk, capture photographers, and fill magazine pages – vigorously paving the way for today’s fashion icons all across the globe.
