Coco Chanel revolutionized the use of tweed, introducing the typically male-associated fabric boldly into her innovative couture in the 1920s. Once used only in the manufacture of boxy suits for country gentlemen, Chanel's chic and revolutionary ensembles made of this distinctive Scottish fabric shook the dominance of Parisian titans of couture like Paul Poiret. Tweed is still associated with Chanel's most luxurious and sophisticated designs, featuring recently, for example, in a line of the firm's contemporary high jewelry.
