Dating to the S/S 1995 Barbie collection - one of, if not the most celebrated of Karl Lagerfeld's collections for Chanel during his 36 year tenure as creative director for the venerated French luxury maison - this is an iconic & collectible vintage Chanel ensemble that featured both on the runway & in the campaign that season.
An unexpectedly daring reimagining of the classic Chanel suit in midnight blue, the set comprises a bustier style jacket with plunge sweetheart neckline, nipped in waist hip pockets & statement CC logo buttons at the front and cuffs, and a high-waisted slit box pleat skirt. The jacket is lined with navy silk also emblazoned with the CC logo. Both pieces can be worn broken up as separates or together for a full look. Made in France.
*Please note that Chanel belt pictured is not included with the suit but is available to purchase.
