French IRP - Chanel headings

Hi, so I’m doing my IRP on Coco Chanel for my A level speaking exam, but I am struggling to form some headings.

Some ideas I’ve already had are:
- How has she influenced the modern fashion industry?
- How did she contribute to the feminist movement?
- What made her so controversial?

I am hoping for some advice. Thanks!

It might be interesting to talk about her political role - it's quite surprising!! She was supposedly used as a spy or something along those lines.

Generally though, you might want to talk about the iconic features of her designs, the history of her setting up her workshop, her most famous runway etc.

Bringing modern perspectives like how the brand survived even after her death and how it might have changed could also be good. Hope this helps! 😄
