Description

Fall 1983 marked the first fall ready-to-wear collection that Karl did for the label. So any piece from this first year is now a part of fashion history. This first year was instrumental to what Chanel was to become as a brand. He pulled inspiration from the twenties and thirties, something he continued to do throughout his career, and mixed it with that classic Chanel feel. He said at the time 'Even if she never did it this way, it’s very Chanel, no?'. We were very excited to find the reference shot included here that has a variation of this dress made in a black lace. Documentation on these early collections is rare. It is absolutely gorgeous in person This Chanel dress is so good. It is also a rare piece from Karl's first year at Chanel which adds to its

The twin of this set in a different colour walked the runway for the Fall 2000 show for Look 11. My client ordered hers in black and that simple colour change makes it incredibly timeless. The suit is beautiful and so chic. I also have Look 17 from the show in the shop that has a longer jacket from the same client. True Haute Couture pieces by Chanel are an extraordinary find as they are so very rare and hard to come by. It is an incredibly beautiful and historically important example of the work that Karl was doing for Chanel during this time period. It is absolutely gorgeous to see in person. I love that this is a suit with a dress and jacket rather than a jacket and skirt. It makes it so versatile and you can mix and

This is a stunning suit that has all three original pieces and is the twin of the piece that walked the runway for the Fall 2000 show. There is nothing more classic then an iconic Chanel suit and there are incredibly beautiful and chic once on. True Haute Couture pieces by Chanel are an extraordinary find as they are so very rare and hard to come by. It is an incredibly beautiful and historically important example of the work that Karl was doing for Chanel during this time period. It is absolutely gorgeous to see in person. I love that this has all three pieces - the jacket, skirt and the inner silk chiffon tank. It makes it so versatile since you can mix and match all of pieces and wear them in so many different ways. The inner tank is

The fabric used for the lower portion of this dress matches the Fall 2000 couture ruffled Chanel coat that I have in the shop and both pieces are from the same client. That said, I do not believe that they were purchased as a formal set because the numbered tags on each do not fall in sequential order like they normally would if that was the case. However, if you look at the runway photo for that look, you can see the similarities to the piece that was shown underneath the ruffle coat on the runway. There is a similarity in the top portion of the dress to Look 34 and we believe that this was a custom made piece whose fabric was chosen to give the option of wearing with the coat. True Haute Couture pieces by Chanel are

This dress is gorgeous. It is very pretty and very easy to wear. The hand written label places it within 1992 and it is a gorgeous example of his work. I love how utterly Chanel in feel it is and it is immaculately made. These earlier pieces almost border on demi-couture with the workmanship being so fabulous. I love that this dress. This one is particularly feminine in feel and it is just so pretty. The dress is made out of a light in weight black silk chiffon that is feather light. When you actually look closely at this dress the sheer amount of silk used for it is mind boggling. Despite its light weight fabric it is made so well that it still has enough structure to hold the cut and give it the wonderful shape that you see. The
