“A rebel at heart, a woman who freed herself to become the woman she wanted to be.”
A legend in her own time.
GOALS
Everybody knows about Coco Chanel’s iconic designs — from the Gabrielle bag to the Double C earrings to the J12 watch — but do you know the story of the fascinating woman behind them?
Combining elements of her life and work, I crafted this immersive book that tells her story that is inspired by her timeless design aesthetic and modern touches.

While creating my moodboard, I decided to go through modernism culture and style, designers of the era of Modernism had strict, structured grid system with emphasis on negative space, just as important was the use of clean sans-serif type. The idea was to create strong graphics that were against commercialism, greed and cheapness.
