Growing up in an orphanage, where she was taught to sew, she rose to become an iconic figure in fashion design \u2013 particularly noted for popularizing the \u201clittle black dress\u201d still popular today \u2013 and for developing the Chanel No. 5 fragrance, which she introduced in the 1920s and which is still perhaps the best known perfume in the world. Her personal life was marked by controversy in World War II during the German occupation of France when she was the subject of rumors about a liaison with a German diplomat. Though investigated after the war concerning possible Nazi collaboration, Chanel, who never married, was not officially charged. Her reputation, however, was diminished in some quarters for a time, though she eventually resumed leadership of her highly profitable fashion empire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Rhonda K.
