It stood out for its versatility, its practicality, its multifunctionality and its adaptability to all seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-32 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#4f1677\">The choice of the colour black was mainly motivated by its versatility. This outfit could be worn on any occasion and at any time of the year.  Before Chanel, black clothes were mostly associated with mourning and rarely worn outside that context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-33 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#4f1677\">Coco Chanel\u2019s idea was to introduce into the female wardrobe a piece that would suit every occasion. Even women of modest means could afford such an outfit, versatile enough to be worn at work, on a stroll or at an evening party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-93-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-93-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-93-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-93-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-93-1024x1536.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-93-973x1460.png 973w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-93-508x762.png 508w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-93.png 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-34 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#4f1677\"><strong>Chanel 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"813\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img003-813x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img003-813x1024.jpg 813w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img003-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img003-768x967.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img003-1220x1536.jpg 1220w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img003-1627x2048.jpg 1627w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img003-973x1225.jpg 973w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img003-508x640.jpg 508w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img003.jpg 1741w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-35 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#4f1677\"><strong>Hendrik Verlinden, Mia, Vera Verlinden, Godfried<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1004\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-39-1004x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-39-1004x1024.png 1004w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-39-294x300.png 294w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-39-768x783.png 768w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-39-1506x1536.png 1506w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-39-973x993.png 973w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-39-508x518.png 508w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-39.png 1696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-36 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#4f1677\"><strong>Vera Verlinden is the godmother of An Van Kerckhoven &amp;
