article "Chanel = a female power symbol?"

I've been writing a research paper on the Chanel logo, and I've come up with some interesting ideas. For one, the circle shapes in the logo can represent women, yin and yang, crescent moons, and a mandorla (or vulva/almond). All meanings combined together form some sort of idea that the symbol is indicative of the emperor goddess taking over the world, which is what Coco Chanel kind of did - revolutionize women for her time. I wonder if women feel this way when they wear Chanel - females with power or females that fallen under the influence of current trends.
