Coco Gabrielle Chanel may have been born 132 years ago but the legacy she left behind is not one to be slighted. The luxury fashion house<\/a>, Chanel is quite possibly one of the most covetable brand names today. Speak of Chanel and hearts start fainting.<\/p>

While Coco Chanel's<\/a> brand started off as a hat boutique, it eventually expanded into clothes with offerings that included quilted jackets and staples like the little black dress. Not only was she known for creating styles that freed women from restrictive clothing, she also imbued wit in everything that she said.\u00a0Moving on she also went into jewellery<\/a> and fragrances, creating some indescribably beautiful pearl necklaces and well, who can forget the signature Chanel No. 5 scent?<\/p>

Karl Lagerfeld may be controlling the reins now but that's not to say that the Coco Chanel essence does not continue to live on throughout the years.\u00a0So in honour of her birthday and the incomparable\u00a0confidence and ambition that she possessed - not to mention style - we've rounded 10 of the most inspiring quotes from the mademoiselle herself.<\/p>

In Coco Chanel's words, \"Elegance is refusal.\"<\/em><\/p>
