Description
History of the model: This model belongs to the B4212 collection from the Fall/Winter 2010 season, under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld. It fully embodies the modernist approach that he instilled at CHANEL, by reinterpreting the emblematic lines of the house through refined volumes and play on textures. The dress incorporates the fundamental elements of the Chanel suit, notably tweed and the two-tone black and white contrast, while adopting a more fluid look, without formal rigidity. This hybridization between sophistication and modernity marks the spirit of this creative decade. Exterior details: The dress is made in white openwork tweed with small regular square patterns, revealing a slight play of transparency, controlled and elegant. The wide draped effect collar is framed with textured black braid, matching the cuffs of the short sleeves. Two black and white resin buttons with silver metal CC logo mark the front of the dress, recalling the DNA of the house. The bottom is lightly fringed, providing a textured finish to the hem. The discreet zipper is placed in the back, topped with a small black logo button. Interior details: The interior is fully lined with a flowing white silk fabric, guaranteeing a pleasant fit and perfect support for the silhouette. The internal finishes, as always at CHANEL, are carried out with extreme care, invisible from the outside but guaranteeing the fit and comfort of the garment. A thin support belt to tie is sewn inside at the waist, to delicately emphasize the line. Condition of the product: The dress is in very good general condition. There are no major defects to report, the seams are intact, the closure works perfectly, and the original buttons are present. The fabric retains its full appearance, without tears, stains or fading. We only note a very slight patina linked to its age, with no aesthetic or functional impact. Care instructions: It is recommended to have the dress dry cleaned by a professional, favoring a service specialized in old or luxury textiles. The tweed and silk lining require delicate treatment, and a wide hanger is recommended to maintain the structure of the collar and shoulders when storing. Why choose this product: This two-tone Chanel dress is a piece representative of Karl Lagerfeld’s heritage, combining rigor of the cut and lightness of the fabric. It fits perfectly into a contemporary wardrobe, bringing a graphic and timeless touch. Its sober but worked style allows it to be worn both for dressy occasions and in a more everyday register, depending on the accessories. Rich in emblematic details and rare on the market, it constitutes an informed choice for any collector or lover of signed vintage pieces.
