One of the standout looks from Karl Lagerfeld's celebrated Fall 2009 Chanel runway, this documented Look 22 perfectly captures the house's ability to reinterpret classic Chanel tailoring through richly textured fantasy tweeds and couture craftsmanship.
Executed in an intricately woven black bouclé tweed threaded with ivory yarns and subtle multicolored fibers, the ensemble is accented by striking emerald green woven pocket and cuff details that provide unexpected contrast against the dark textured ground. The asymmetrical shawl collar and cascading ivory fringe trim create architectural movement while preserving the unmistakable Chanel silhouette.
The jacket features signature emerald enamel CC buttons arranged in a military-inspired double-breasted configuration, while the coordinating skirt echoes the same luxurious woven textile, creating a complete runway ensemble rarely found together today.
Presented on the runway with an oversized emerald tweed hat and ivory fur collar, Look 22 became one of the memorable tailoring looks of the Fall 2009 collection, showcasing Karl Lagerfeld's continual reinvention of Gabrielle Chanel's timeless codes.
Complete documented runway sets from this era are increasingly scarce and highly sought after by collectors of archival Chanel.
