The palette of the Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Couture Spring/Summer 2011 Show was based on Marie Laurencin’s watercolors (in 1923, the French artist painted Coco Chanel’s portrait).
Other Marie Laurencin-inspired shows : Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Spring/Summer 2009 (this collection was influenced by a grayish portrait by Marie Laurencin), Christian Lacroix Spring/Summer 2008 (some pieces paid tribute to Marie Laurencin’s oeuvre).
