From Karl Lagerfeld’s S/S 2008 collection Nuits d’Été (“Summer Nights”), this iconic jacket channels the nostalgic spirit of 1950s Americana, with a playful nod to Grease and the classic stars-and-stripes motif. Cut in the house’s signature fantasy tweed - a lightweight silk, wool, and cotton blend - the jacket features cream, red, and metallic bronze stripes. CC-logo crest buttons recall a high-school emblem, while frayed edges add a tactile finish reminiscent of cheerleaders’ pom-poms. Both collectible and unmistakably Chanel, it captures Lagerfeld’s genius for fusing heritage with pop culture. With multiple iterations shown on the runway, featured in the seasonal campaign, and captured in leading fashion editorials, this is a highly documented vintage Chanel piece. Expertly tailored, it is finished with a white silk lining embossed with CC logos and camellias, and completed with the house’s signature chain sewn into the hem for perfect drape. Made in France.
