The Shrimpton Couture Archives

• Spring 2012 Chanel runway Look 39
• Under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld
• Innovative fabrication. The fabric label has it as a mix of a polyester, linen, paper, silk and viscose
• Cut in a nod to the mod sixties silhouette
• Big cellophane looking buttons close it down the front and they have the feel of being handmade. Each is a dome with a little gold double C logo on it on the bottom edge
• A bib effect at the front
• Covered in sequins whose colours range from gold, pink, pale green and blue, depending on how the light hits them.
• Little hidden pockets sit on either side at the front
• It appears to have been worn very little if at all
• Fully lined in a Chanel Camellia flower embossed ivory silk except for just behind the buttons where it is the same fabric as the exterior edges.
• Closes down the front with the buttons that you see. Under that there are a series of hidden set snaps and mother-of-pearl buttons.
• Pockets on each hip.
• Tagged a Chanel 34
