Color Inspiration - Chanel

by Kristal Wick
This color inspiration is from Chanel's holiday window display in Paris this year. It is a stunner!
Chanel and the brand historically evoke such luxury and class in every creation especially this window display. One glance at this opulent window gives you the elegant feeling of the holidays and conveys a festive party atmosphere.

I used mainly silver and crystal AB as the focal colors but threw in a dash of goldish/copper with a few of the spacers and pearls to give the piece warmth and added texture. You can see this reflected in the window display aesthetic.

I decided to create this infinity necklace by making it big enough to fit over the head, eliminating the need for a clasp yet conveying simple holiday elegance.

Creatively,
Kristal
