Chanel Hooded Vest with Skirt, 1999-2006

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.

VEST
Tan, cream, black, and red mohair and silk-blend plaid sleeveless vest with a hood, pointed lapel, two toggle-closures at the center front, and a vertical pleated detail at the center front and back. All toggles feature the CC logo on the wide end. The vest is lined with cream silk woven with a design of the CC logo and flowers. The interior of the vest is finished at the hem with a silver-tone chain.
