Chanel Runway Book

Year 12 Visual Arts/Design, 2020

Karl Lagerfeld’s ability to infuse Coco Chanel’s iconic designs with his own unique flair inspired me to bring a fresh perspective to his own creations. This inspiration sparked the concept of blending fashion design with fashion illustration, following in Karl's footsteps.

My vision evolved into a plan to celebrate Karl Lagerfeld’s work by presenting his designs in a novel manner. Chanel Runway is a book that showcases two of Karl’s designs from each year between 1990 and 2019 through fashion illustration. This collection offers a fresh and original perspective on his legendary creations, honouring his legacy by reimagining his work in the way he once did with Coco’s.

Below, you will find a selection of illustrations featured in Chanel Runway.
