About Chanel and the Imelda Marcos Shoe Collection
Founded by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, the House of Chanel became one of the defining names of twentieth-century French fashion. Its influence extended from couture and tailoring to handbags, jewellery, fragrance and footwear.
Karl Lagerfeld became Chanel’s Artistic Director in 1983 and revitalised the house by continually reinterpreting its established visual language for a new generation. Chanel credits him with restoring its Haute Couture, developing Ready-to-Wear and introducing important new collections.
This black lambskin platform pump demonstrates that approach particularly well. The elegant black upper is contrasted with a bold metallic silver toe, turning a classic pump silhouette into something considerably more dramatic.
Its inclusion in the Imelda Marcos Shoe Collection connects one of fashion’s most recognised luxury houses with one of history’s most discussed personal collections of designer footwear.
Did You Know?
Chanel has been experimenting with contrasting toe treatments for generations. Gabrielle Chanel’s celebrated two-tone shoe dates to 1957, and subsequent designers repeatedly reinterpreted the idea through different materials, proportions and finishes.
Karl Lagerfeld’s arrival at Chanel in 1983 began one of fashion’s most important designer-house partnerships. His approach was not simply to reproduce Chanel’s past, but to take recognisable house codes and repeatedly reinvent them.
Black lambskin and metallic finishes make this platform pump a particularly striking example of that philosophy: traditional Chanel elegance combined with a much more theatrical, contemporary silhouette.
Why Collect This Chanel Print?
This Chanel Imelda Marcos Shoe Print brings together three compelling stories: the history of Chanel, the creative influence of Karl Lagerfeld and the extraordinary cultural story surrounding the Imelda Marcos Shoe Collection.
A. J. Green’s painting turns the shoe from a fashion accessory into a portrait in its own right. The deep black lambskin, substantial platform and reflective silver toe create a particularly graphic image, making this one of the stronger designs in the Sole Support collection.
Displayed as art, it becomes more than a picture of a Chanel shoe. It is a conversation about fashion, luxury, celebrity, history and the symbolism that objects acquire through the people who owned them.
Purchasing the print also contributes directly to Sole Support’s charitable programme helping vulnerable children in the Philippines.
