Bring runway polish to your stitching with this striking fashion portrait of an Afro woman in a sweeping wide-brim hat and tailored coat. The face is artfully shaded by the brim, so the red lips, poised hand and layered pearl necklaces do the talking. With its brown, tan, black, white and red palette, plus the interlocking double-C motif and "CHANEL" text, it has the feel of a modern boutique illustration. It will especially appeal to makers creating fashion-led pieces for women who like bold, elegant detail rather than fussy decoration.
This design would look particularly strong on the back of a black denim jacket, the front of a structured tote, or the panel of a sweatshirt, coat or blazer-style overshirt. Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design, it suits stable fabrics best and gives a solid, high-impact finish that helps the hat, lapels and jewellery read clearly from a distance.
