Curatorial Description

– An icon of modern Couture mythology, this CHANEL Timeless Black Dress stands among the most recognizable masterpieces of Lagerfeld’s Paris / BYZANCE Collection — a collection where East met West in a golden mosaic of history, empire, and eternal couture – A work of art in fabric and jewel, this creation is not merely a dress — it is a portable reliquary of Chanel’s metaphysical power, a garment where history, imperium, and eternal femininity converge // Size mark 36 FR / Condition: never worn // • Six sublime Gripoix jewel buttons, each inset with CC logos and crafted in Byzantine-inspired ornamentation, gleam across the dress like imperial relics — they are miniature icons, wearable mosaics • The silhouette is fitted and sculpted with an accentuated high waist, a design that elongates the figure with the architectural precision of a Byzantine column • Beneath, a black silk lining whispers against the skin — the hidden luxury known only to the wearer, the secret soul of couture
