Fashion: The iconic tweed jacket

For more than 70 years the tweed jacket is probably THE most iconic and classic piece a woman can have in her wardrobe. Invented in 1950 by Mrs. Coco Chanel, the tweed jacket, also called “La Veste”, became more than just a garment, the iconic jacket became a piece of art. Coco Chanel followed her vision to create something for women to feel good and to look feminine at the same time. She expressed that vision in creating the famous tweed jacket - an elegant and comfortable garment.
