THE ART OF LUCKYNELLY

Before LUCKYNELLY, Christine Rochlitz began exploring nature through macro photography. Insects, flowers and overlooked botanical details became enlarged worlds of colour, structure and unexpected beauty.

What began as a fascination with these tiny, often overlooked worlds gradually developed into a visual language of colour, structure and transformation. The original photographs later became the starting point for digital experiments, textile prints and wearable designs — marking an early connection between photography, nature and the creative practice that would evolve into LUCKYNELLY.

The digital botanical experiments soon moved beyond the screen. Selected photographic works were further transformed through colour, contrast and digital manipulation, then translated into textile prints.

Printed onto fabric, the images gained a new material dimension — turning photography into surface, colour into textile and digital experimentation into a physical object. This marked an early connection between photography, digital art and material experimentation that would later become an important part of LUCKYNELLY’s creative practice.

In HYBRID NATURE, Christine Rochlitz combines her own photographs of flowers, plants and animals into digitally constructed compositions. Through layering, mirroring and repetition, individual elements begin to merge.

Wings become petals, botanical structures resemble bodies and familiar natural forms transform into imagined organisms. The series explores the point at which observed nature becomes reconstructed nature — creating visual species that exist somewhere between photography, collage and abstraction.

BOTANICAL TRANSFORMATIONS explores the visual relationship between handbags, botanical forms, colour and surface. Familiar LUCKYNELLY pieces become part of dreamlike compositions in which object and environment begin to merge.

Created as an early digital art series, the project moves beyond conventional product imagery. Transparency, repetition and layered natural structures transform each bag into part of an imagined botanical world.

STARSHIP began with the idea of removing the handbag from familiar conventions. Instead of a conventional body, the design is built around a radical triangular silhouette.

Strong lines meet luminous metallic surfaces, creating an object that appears to hover somewhere between fashion, architecture and science fiction.

The Treasure Boxes transform the traditional treasure chest into wearable, sculptural one-of-one objects. Each composition is built by hand in the LUCKYNELLY atelier in Berlin.

Cork and wood form the architectural bodies. Metal hardware, chains, handles, ornaments and hand-finished surfaces give every box its own imagined history.

Created for UBIKWIST Magazine’s The Collective Issue No. 14, Boudoir Prep unfolds as a cinematic study of transformation, attitude and contemporary beauty.

Within its bold visual language, LUCKYNELLY vegan bags appear as sculptural elements moving between accessory, object and artistic expression. Published in print and digital, the editorial brings fashion, film and art direction together.

Constructed from sheets of nori, the sculptural corset dress transforms an everyday food material into a dark, textured fashion object. Its fitted silhouette and lace-up back place traditional corsetry in dialogue with a fragile, unconventional surface.

The accompanying earrings, bracelet and ring were handcrafted from red cabbage and finished with selected gold-plated and rhodium-plated components. Together, the pieces extend the experiment from clothing into botanical jewelry.
