History of the Model: Knitted dresses have been part of the Chanel heritage since the 1920s, when Gabrielle Chanel revolutionized women’s fashion with soft and comfortable clothing inspired by sailor wardrobe. This model is part of this tradition, modernized by the openwork knit technique and the chromatic contrasts typical of the house’s summer collections.
