This lot contains two skirt suits.
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.

Red/pink boucle jacket and skirt. The jacket is cut with a crew neckline, long sleeves, and flapped and buttoned pockets over the chest. Comes with two extra buttons.
