Description
Model History:
The pleated skirt is one of the recurring classics of Chanel collections, often associated with sober femininity and a couture spirit. Originally inspired by school or military uniforms, it was reinterpreted in the 1920s by Gabrielle Chanel, who advocated a fluid fashion free of corsets. In contemporary collections, Karl Lagerfeld has regularly revisited the pleated skirt, playing on lengths, textures and volumes to integrate this model into an aesthetic that is both modern and faithful to the codes of the house.
External Details:
Made in a black material predominantly cotton (composition: 59% viscose, 20% cotton, 16% polyester, 5% polyamide), the skirt has a pleat fine and regular throughout, with more pronounced density at the bottom for a slightly structured effect. The waist is highlighted by a wide plain belt, with no visible seam, which visually refines the silhouette. The silver metal logo button on the back adds a subtly recognizable touch to the whole. The hem is finished with a wider, flat pleat which creates a discreet contrast with the rest of the skirt.
Interior Details:
The skirt is not lined, which allows the fabric to maintain its lightness and naturally follow the movements of the body. The interior finishes are clean, with discreet reinforced seams. The absence of lining highlights the quality of the knitting and pleating, avoiding any unnecessary volume.
Product Condition:
In very good condition, this skirt has no tears, stains or visible signs of wear. The folds are clean and regular, well preserved. The zip works perfectly and the button is original.
Care Tips:
It is recommended to have the skirt dry cleaned by a professional to preserve the structure of the pleat and the hold of the fabric. Ironing should be avoided or carried out at very low temperature with a pattemouille, without direct contact with the folds. Store the skirt flat or hanging using lined clips to avoid any deformation.
