Coco Chanel

By: Ada

Hello, it is so nice to meet you! Today, I am going to tell you a little bit about myself, I was the best fashion designer that hit the 1900s! I will tell you about my designs, life and personality.

First, I will tell you about my designs. I am the creator of the amazing little black dress, the Chanel Jersey sweater, the Chanel Breton shirt, and the Chanel tweed suit. I also have perfumes, and handbags.

Next, I will tell you about my life and death. I was born August,19,1883. Now, clearly, I am not dead, but if I had to guess when I would die, I would guess january,10,1971 at age 87. (but looking as awesome as ever!) My real name is “Gabriell Chanel". I acquired the name “Coco” while singing “Who has seen Coco.”

Lastly, I will tell you about my totally awesome personality. I am a very independent woman, and known for challenging notations of femineity have a burning love of champion, oysters, wine, and caviar.

To bring my presentation to a close, my conclusion is, I am so glad I got to tell you about the amazing Coco Chanel.

Tinker Hatfield

 

By Charlie  

 

Hi guys! It's me, Tinker. As I share my life, there is going to be lots of fun; let’s do something fun. My favorite shoes as a shoe designer are the Travis Scott Mochas and Jordan 4 Blue Thunders. My favorite Jordan that I have created is the Jordan 11. My least favorite is Jordan the 15. Have you ever wondered which people make which shoes? Well, that’s my job: designing shoes. Looking at everything in my life and creating it into a different thing. Some people think that shoes are just a clothing item. It's a whole entire way of life to express yourself. You can make $100 from selling shoes or you can make a million dollars from selling shoes. It truly does change peoples’ lives in a way that is unexplainable. 

 

Tinker Hatfield is one of the most creative and legendary shoe designers of the century, and some people would say of all time. Tinker was born on August 30, 1952, in Hillsboro, Oregon. He studied architecture at the University of Oregon and joined Nike in 1981. He started designing shoes in 1985. Phil Knight credits Tinker and the Air Jordan 3 with saving Nike and keeping Michael Jordan from going to Adidas. 

In college he was very good at playing basketball. He was an all-star running back for the University of Oregon and All-American track and field in hurdle and pole vaulting. He was the top athlete in Oregon in 1970 but an injury to his ankle that needed 5 surgeries and 2 years of rehabilitation ended his sports career. He did track and field under the coaching of Bill Bowerman, co-founder of Nike.  

Tinker was the lead designer for Air Jordan III to XXV, co-designed Air Jordan 2010 and XXX. Hatfield made legendary Nike Air MAG, also known as Back to the Future shoes, re-creating the shoes that Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future II, which takes place in 2015.  The shoes were first released to the public in 2011, 22 years after the movie, and then they dropped a batch in 2016 again. The sales raised money for Parkinson’s Disease. Hatfield also made Jordan XX, XXIII, XXV, and XXIX. Made bat boots for Michael Keaton for Batman and Batman Returns movies. 

In conclusion, the shoe industry and the shoe community are one of the most extrovertly amazing fashion influences that you will ever see and that will ever be created. Shoes are a staple of life to some people. Shoes are so expensive that people must smell them to ensure they’re not fake. It’s addicting. Just like if you eat too much chocolate from your mom’s chocolate box and then you can’t stop. Once you start selling shoes and appreciating them you cannot stop, and it becomes a part of your life. 

 

Author’s note: This bio bistro report was created by Charlie Gallus. As some people know I love Nike and everything about it and I’m fascinated by the shoe industry and millions of dollars getting exchanged only in shoes every single day. But I don’t just like shoes. Sure, it’s a very big part of my life, but it’s not all of it. I like to go mountain biking, rock climbing, and drawing and creating art. My favorite thing about shoes is they’re like a little angel. There are many of them, and they’re all different and created for just one person. I hope the shoe industry gets even more people into it and I would recommend that you get more because it's fun. If you’re hesitant, I’ll just say that it’s like trading Pokémon cards or sports cards. Thank you for listening to my report. I hope you liked it and I recommend that the 4th graders next year learn something about Nike because the company is very interesting to research.
