Model History:
Tweed is emblematic of the Chanel heritage, integrated in the 1920s by Gabrielle Chanel to reinvent the women’s wardrobe by combining comfort and elegance. In the 2000s, Karl Lagerfeld regularly revisited this signature material with plays on textures and patterns. The Fall 2002 collection marks a period where the house blends classicism and modernity, introducing dynamic silhouettes while retaining the timeless aesthetic of the tweed suit.
Exterior Details:
The tweed used here is mainly composed of wool (72%), combined with nylon, acrylic, viscose and other synthetic fibers, providing a texture rich and irregular, with touches of white that create a graphic visual effect. The jacket features a straight cut, with notched collar, long sleeves and concealed closure. The buttons decorated with embossed camellias add a discreet but refined detail. The matching skirt hugs the hips before flaring slightly, creating a balanced silhouette.
Interior Details:
The interior of the jacket is lined with a black silk (95%) and elastane (5%) fabric, guaranteeing great comfort and excellent fit. The silky lining offers a subtle contrast with the texture of the tweed and demonstrates the care taken in the finishes. The skirt is also lined, ensuring a pleasant fit without transparency.
