This high fashion coloring book is ready to brighten up your lockdown
might make it seem as if they have been life-long friends, it turns out the backstory to their new collaborative coloring book is a little more serendipitous. “I actually bought one of Colby’s sweatshirts from the Gagosian bookstore a while back and posted it on my Instagram story, then we started messaging,” says Coleman. “I think we recognized we have a shared aesthetic, in that we both like to bring humor into everything that we do.
All the same, their creative synergy was obvious from the get-go. “Back in March, we started talking about the projects we've been spending our time on during quarantine, and we came up with the idea of the coloring book just as a way for ourselves and for others to get creative,” says Mugrabi. “We really bonded over our love for Prada, and that was the first page we did. At the beginning, this was more of a fun project for us than anything.
While both are clearly well-versed in the rich constellation of references that surround each of the brands highlighted, Coleman’s interest is equally rooted in her professional experience. “I actually used to work for Peter Marino, so I worked on Chanel stores and the more commercial side of luxury design,” she says. “I think something people don’t always realize is there is such a strong brand identity built through art or iconic furniture pieces.
Despite the drawings being stuffed with plenty of Easter eggs for hardcore fashion fans, both Coleman and Mugrabi also hope the appeal can be more universal, particularly in this moment. “I think there’s something about these activities you can do together to get off your phone and disconnect a little bit, without it being as intimidating as sitting down to a blank canvas to paint a picture,” says Coleman.
When I ask them whose drawings they would be most excited to see, their response is typically light-hearted. “I’m instantly seeing a mental image of Miuccia Prada sitting in her kitchen coloring the Prada page, so I’m going to go with that,” says Mugrabi, with a laugh. “I picture the whole Fendi family sitting in a field coloring in,” adds Coleman. “It’s fun, it’s whimsical, and most importantly, it comes without any rules.
