Curatorial Description

CHANEL — Paris / VENICE Runway Ensemble, Cruise 2010 — Rouge et Noir: a dialogue between fire and shadow — // As seen on Kate Moss, it embodies the moment when Chanel crossed from fashion into legend. – It is a Venetian overture — this ensemble stands among Karl Lagerfeld’s most iconic meditations on power dressing // Size mark for the skirt 36 FR / Size mark of the jacket 40 FR — would fit 36-38 FR sizes // Condition: never worn. • Jacket Crafted from the softest red cashmere, cut with the precision of a relic rather than a garment. The hue is not merely red, but Venetian rouge — saturated & noble • Skirt A high-waisted, mid-length pencil skirt in signature black tweed, anchoring the ensemble in gravity and restraint. It forms a vertical axis — the column upon which the red ascends • CC Jewel Gripoix Buttons Both jacket and skirt are crowned with C-logo jewel buttons adorned with winged lions, guardians drawn directly from Venetian heraldry — symbols of watchfulness, sovereignty, and myth.
