The twin of this gorgeous Spring 2001 Chanel dress was worn by Bridget Hall on the Runway. The show that year took place in the Carrousel de Louvre where the Chanel team constructed a multi-coloured Neon Staircase for the models to walk down. The Chanel 'Catwalk' books noted that the models sported tons of colour to go with that staircase and the collection showcased red, pink, blue, coral and purple besides the standard black and white used so often by Karl. Models had logos written on their faces and even their nails with a 'specially produced varnish embellished with diamante chips'. I love that you can see just how fantastically the dress moves in the footage. It is an absolutely stunning dress and I love it

This Chanel dress is phenomenal. This is the kind of dress that you see in real life and it makes you swoon. As good as it looks in the photos it only really comes to life on the body. When you move in it the air around you picks up the silk chiffon that it is made out of and it has the most beautiful movement. The dress is cut with a very soft and easy feel much like the dresses of the twenties and thirties. The bodice is cut to skim over you. The neckline is cut wide across and it softly drapes down a touch at the center dips softly down with angled seaming under that. The main colour is a soft dusty rose and there is a second deeper pinky red wherever he added a ruffled effect. The sleeves are one of those places and they drape around the top of the arm and are so pretty. The dress is entirely cut on the bias above and below the seamed waist so that it drapes down and over the bust and then around the hips and to the floor to show off your curves. On the runway it was styled with a classic Chanel chain belt and you could add something similar or wear it as it is. The skirt is seamed on angles to again give a nod to the seaming of the twenties and thirties. The hem curves around you and dips up at the front to show some leg. From the waist down to the top of that front where it curves up are two more rows of ruffles in those two tones of pink. These move so prettily when you walk. There is a seam just under that and this seam curves around you and the lower skirts are set into that. This allows the lower skirts to really flare out and move as you move. You can see that in the runway video. I love that the inside of the lower skirt is also lined with the deeper toned chiffon. He then extended the back to go just past the hem to create a slight trained effect behind you. If all of that wasn't enough the dress closes with a row of domed pearl buttons at the back. Each button is embossed with a tiny pink Chanel across its surface too. The entire dress is as light as a feather once on and it is almost like having nothing on at all. All of the added ruffles and layers of silk move with your slightest movement. It is just amazing and even better in person. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little. Excellent condition 

Fully lined in the same silk chiffon as the main body of the dress and then some parts are accented with the other colour silk as seen. It closes with a low set side zipper at the back and buttons above that. Tagged FR40. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

Fall 1983 marked the first fall ready-to-wear collection that Karl did for the label. So any piece from this first year is now a part of fashion history. This first year was instrumental to what Chanel was to become as a brand. He pulled inspiration from the twenties and thirties, something he continued to do throughout his career, and mixed it with that classic Chanel feel. He said at the time 'Even if she never did it this way, it’s very Chanel, no?'.... We were very excited to find the reference shot included here that has a variation of this dress made in a black lace. Documentation on these early collections is rare. It is absolutely gorgeous in person

This Chanel dress is so good. It is also a rare piece from Karl's first year at Chanel which adds to its collectability. The cut of the dress is timeless. The dress is made from a layers of black bias cut chiffon. The layers float over each other and play on transparency of the fabric. The bias cut makes it incredibly comfortable once on the body. The fabric is light in weight but with enough substance to hold the that wonderful curved shape that you see. The bodice skims over you and has a V neckline. The neckline is edged in a black satin ribbon. I love the little bow that sits at the base of the V for a very Chanel feel. The back is also dips into a V but there it is cut shallow and wide so that it sits higher up on the back of the neck. Attached to the ribbon edging of the neckline is a silk chiffon caplet that cascades all the way around you. It falls over each arm and drapes down the back to the waist. When you move even the slightest it moves with you for a pretty effect. The waist is seamed and cinched. The skirt falls under that and is cut to follow the curve of the hips. I love the little slant pockets that edged in the same black silk ribbon. These sit on each side of the hip. At about the knee the skirt flares out in a dramatic expanse of silk chiffon. More silk ribbon is set to separate the lower skirt and this last bottom part flares out and around you. It has a more transparent feel to it since it is only layers of chiffon.  When you walk the movement it creates is incredible. The final perfect touch are the little satin covered buttons that run all the way down the back and the final flat little flat blow at the base of the ribbon detailing. Beautifully constructed and it looks to have been worn very little if at all. It is an amazing example of Karl's very earliest work for Chanel. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a matching black silk chiffon and it buttons to close at the back. It is tagged a Chanel 42. The bias cut fabric does have some give between the ribbons.

Bust: to 17.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 13" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: 17.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Bodice: 17" from top of shoulder to waist, and does come up a bit once on

The Fall 2003 Chanel collection began with inspiration from the work of painter Kasimir Malevich. In Vogue's review of the collection Sarah Mower stated in part that; 'Lagerfeld mixed things up with his usual polymath flair... The decorative vibe ran through the collection.... In other words, all the usual playfulness of Chanel ready-to-wear was there, done with a light-handed touch that underscored Coco's legacy of flexibility—and fun— in the reign of King Karl." This is a wonderful example of his work from this time period and it is so versatile with the two pieces as you can wear them together or mix and match with other pieces you already own.

The dress set is stunning. It has an easy, sexy feel to it that I love. It is actually a set made up of two separate pieces. The inner dress is made from a fine high end black silk. It is suspended from the shoulders by two little silk straps. The bodice is cut to skim over you and the back dips into a low V. The seam at the waist that is set on a pretty inverted curve for a bit of a play on the twenties, a theme he often touched on. The skirt falls from there, skims over the hips and widens out as it nears the hem. The hem is cut on that same inverted curve as the waist seam at the front and then the back sweeps down into a longer slightly point hem that mirrors the dip on the back. Over that goes the top chiffon piece. This top piece is so well made that you can easily wear it to the back or to the front. I have included photos of it both ways for you. The top layer slips on and buttons into place with a row of glossy black buttons. It has that same  hemline as the under dress with one side set on a curve and the other ending in a point. Depending on which way you wear it you get a totally different feel when it is layered over the inner piece. Both the dress and its matching are edged in a black fur. The lightness of the silk give it beautiful movement once on the body. My photos do not come close to doing it full justice. Excellent condition.

Both piece are unlined. The inner dress closes with a hidden set back zipper and the over lay closes with buttons. Tagged a Chanel 40. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

I have a small collection of historically important, key designer labelled vintage furs and fur trimmed pieces stored away in my archives that I will be slowly posting on the site over the next couple of years until I have none left. I will no longer be buying furs for the shop moving forward and have not purchased anything for several years now. I feel like times have changed and while there still is a place for vintage furs for some, including collectors and historians, many modern girls are choosing other options. Many of the pieces in my collection are representative of the designer during a set time period in history that was different then our modern outlook. I have decided that the best course to handle this controversial issue is to let the pieces I have go rather then sit in a cold storage unit. Fur coats are final sale.

There is very little information of the cruise collections from the early 2000s but I do know that this came from the estate of a woman who shopped a lot at Chanel. Her things were stunning and she took immaculate care of them. This is one of several suits from her estate that I have had including this other Chanel suit that is available at the moment  (find that one here). She was not a size 0 and it is nice to find some Chanel pieces that are a slightly larger size when so many that I see are usually very very tiny. That all said, we were able to find a reference photo of a similar top which was worn with pants on the runway that season and a shot of Emmy Rossum who wore the twin of the jacket in 2012 for an event. Which gives you a great idea of how amazing it is on.

The suit is constructed from an absolutely stunning ivory silk version of the Chanel signature boucle fabric. It is absolutely beautiful. It is then edged with the palest possible pink silk chiffon. I love the mix of the boucle and silk chiffon. On the jacket the chiffon is inset down the front edges, along each pocket and at the ends of the sleeves. The edging is composed of three layers of the silk chiffon and left with raw edges.The effect of these layered over top each other is very soft and romantic. The silk continues all the way around the hem. I especially love how it peeks out from the cuffs of each sleeve and drops down on an angle. Pockets and curving seams detail the sides of the jacket. The skirt is cut with a slight flare is it nears the hem and has more of the silk chiffon technique applied and inset under the hem. The entire suit is then lined in the highest quality camellia flower embossed white silk. This came with the matching pale pink lace top that is from that same collection. It would have been bought separately but I decided to keep it all together because it just felt right. The lace mixes a pale deep cream and pink thread that forms the signature Camilla flower of the label. It has no closures just a touch of elastic at the base of the back and the lace will stretch. A padded double C logo and cross are added at the front.  This is classic Chanel and it is exceptional. It would make a great bridal piece for the bride not looking for something traditional or as a dress for an event surrounding the ceremony. Excellent condition.

Both the skirt and the jacket are fully lined in a fine, white silk embossed with the Chanel camellia flower print. The top is unlined. The skirt closes with a hidden set zipper. The jacket and top have no closures. Chanel logo sewn onto both pieces of the suit. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. The color and texture are even better in person. The jacket is tagged a Chanel 44, the skirt a 42 and the top has no size tag present. Some of the glitter looks to be missing around the edges of the appliques on the top. It is a little creamier in colour then how it photoed

The Chanel boucle is created with their proprietary method of weaving that they themselves describe as "by weaving the warp and weft, using a variety of different kinds of threads which creates a unique and somewhat irregular appearance. The warp – vertically strung – is the background of the fabric, the base that will support the assembly of materials. There can be up to 12 different threads used for a single warp. The weft – woven horizontally – gives the fabric its unique character and can have an unlimited number of threads. Tight, perforated, textured, thick, with a relief, plaited, random, twill… the potential number of effects is endless". This technique gives you that classic Chanel look.

This Chanel hat is from the Fall of 1996 and it is gorgeous. I found a editorial shot of Stella Tenant wearing a version of it that was shot by Karl himself. The hat is so dramatic and easy to wear. It is meant to sit lightly on the top of the head and then you can play with which direction you want the feathers to face. It can be worn with the feathers towards the front, either side, or to the back and sit as high or low as you want. This gives it so much versatility in styling it and the feel of it completely changes depends on how you place it on your head. It has its original attached comb in place. The feathers are full and glossy. It is stunning. Excellent condition

Secures to the head with a comb. The base is a black felt wool. Because of the half hat / cap design is should fit any size head. Each side of the triangle shape measures about 8" long.
