Designer/Artist
The artist that I've chosen to work on and is my client for this shophouse assignment is Coco Chanel. Chanel as you all should know is a famous fashion designer who specialises in womens clothing. Her passion is in creating comfortable clothes for women to wear. Her inspiration for mens-wear was from her various relationship with men and thus she decided to incorporate it together with women's wear and that is some sort of a sports wear. She was the first lady to create such clothing for women since during her time in France, all the women were still wearing tight-fitting corsets and huge heavy skirts, which Chanel hated. Chanel had a few themes in her design. Two of her quotes are 'Simplicity is the key to true elegance' and 'Comfort is luxury'. Thus the 3 concepts that I've taken from Chanel are comfort, simplicity and mixture of femininity and masculinity. These are the design concepts that I'm going to be using for the shophouse.
