Live From PFW: Discovered by CHANEL Through an Instagram Reel, From Hospital Paintings to Paris Fashion Debut, How Rachelle Cunningham Turned Art Into Wearable Fashion
Tech Powered LuxuryShow Notes
This week, we’re coming to you live from PFW with Rachelle Cunningham, a fashion illustrator and painter whose work has moved from a hospital room to the front rows of couture, and now into fashion you can actually wear. Rachelle has worked with CHANEL, Vogue, Vivienne Westwood, Nina Ricci, and more, but the most interesting part of her story is how it happened: through sharing consistently online, building an unmistakable aesthetic, and treating every moment as a potential bridge rather than a closed door.
