how could women be the "excuse"
With Chanel began an elegance in reverse, which brought an end to parade clothes. She would not join the women who caracoled along the Avenue du Bois or those who strutted in the enclosures that were forbidden to her. The day was coming when simplicity would prevail in a world where women, as Chanel phrased it herself, had once been nothing but an excuse for embellishment, for laces, etc. According to Chanel, the stables would dethrone the paddock.】

This is a very complex passage, but in this case, women are "an excuse" because they are secondary to the clothing that is being designed for them to wear. The writer is trying to say that, before Chanel began to design clothing, it was "over the top" and far too complicated and decorative.
In this passage, the writer is implying that clothing designers only had one goal: to make really flamboyant and detailed clothes. The clothing was SO complicated, though, that it became more important than the women who would wear it.
