Lot Description
Chanel Velvet Evening Gown, 1980-90s
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.
Evening dress of purple silk velvet trimmed with a black silk ribbon around the waist and around the neck. The neck ribbons attach to the top of the dress with goldtone Chanel buttons to form the straps. The dress is lined with pruple satin and closes at the center back with a fold-over panel with hooks and eyes and snaps. Comes with an extra button and with the attached retail label listing price at $2760.00.
