Two Chanel Skirt Suits: One Three Piece, One Two Piece, c. 1984

After four decades at Chanel, Lagerfeld earned a legacy as a creative force that reinvigorated the heritage label, infusing it with postmodern playfulness while honoring its roots. Equally versed in the languages of popular culture and the craft and traditions of couture, a combination described as ‘high fashion and high camp’, Lagerfeld’s reinvention of the brand and marketing savvy created a voracious appetite among young buyers, sealing the fate of the iconic double CC logo into this century’s visual lexicon.

THE FIRST
Navy blue boucle ensemble with jacket, dropped shoulder and fitted sleeve, functioning gold-tone button at the cuff, two front functioning covered patch pockets with gold-tone Coco Chanel silhouette buttons and scalloped hem with gold-tone chain at the interior hem. Paired with a matching box pleated skirt has one front pocket opening at the center front of the skirt that gives the allusion of two pockets. Comes with navy blue sleeveless blouse trimmed in self fabric with two front patch pockets with two buttons at the front and on at the center back.
