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.

Black wool-blend jacket trimmed with black silk satin. The jacket is cut with a notched lapel, long sleeves, and a two-button and silk satin ribbon closure. The silk satin ribbon extends around the body to the back and the front shows only one of the buttons while the second is on the inside. The visible button features a crown set within enamel and the CC logo. The jacket is lined with black silk woven with the CC logo and the words "Chanel rue Cambon Paris". The jacket is finished on the inside with a silver-tone metal chain sewn to the hem.
