Chanel By Karl Lagerfeld Evening Gown & Camisole Ensemble, Spring-Summer 1983

About the Item

One of a kind 1983 Chanel evening dress dating from Karl Lagerfeld’s debut with the iconic couture house. Constructed in the most refined black silk chiffon, the gown is embellished with satin loop ribbon trim at the bodice and the bottom. Fully lined with three petticoats (two layers of matching airy silk chiffon & one slightly “heavier”), the evening dress fastens with a concealed zip, hook and eye at the back. The matching camisole features as well all the “couture” details of the gown. Unlined for a sheer and transparent effect, the top is beautiful as well standalone. It closes with six buttons down the front, together with delicate ribbons at the collar and at its hem.
