The Arts & Crafts Section

To enhance the essence of my blog, I decided to create a painting that depicts some of Chanel's designs and productions that have become infamous symbols of her work. When one sees the double C logo today, no matter what gender or age, he or she instantly can identify the designer's creation. That type of recognition does not come by so easily, let me tell ya! The background of my artwork is quilted because that is Chanel's trademark handbag design. It is one style that no one can copy and be able to capture the same amount of elegance, class, and vogue that Chanel succeeds in doing.


Here is one of my favorite Chanel bags...can't get any more chic than this ladies!

The Chanel N°5 perfume, launched in 1921, is one of the first major creations that Chanel formed.
N°5's success was outstanding because it grew so rapidly. Furthermore, it made Coco Chanel rich, and her face became as renowned as her logo.



In 1924, Chanel began her first costume jewelry collection that Harper's Bazar named "one of the most revolutionary designs of our time." Among Chanel's designs is the long pearl necklace. This pearl necklace has the special superpowers to make any outfit an instant classic. I wanted to incorporate the staple in my painting in some way, so I figured why not wrap it around the whole piece? It adds definition to the work and strengthens the Chanel impression I was trying to convey. 





The final product :)

Now tell me, what do you think??
