CHANEL 08C Resort 2008 Runway Sheer Dress Karl Lagerfeld FR 40

CHANEL 08C RESORT 2008 — KARL LAGERFELD RUNWAY COLLECTOR’S PIECE | MADE IN FRANCE | FR 40  (Model images are NOT AI. They are real runaway images from Chanel’s Cruise/Resort2008, iconically shown at Los Angeles Santa Monica airport in May 2007 and can be found on Vogue Runway Archive).    A remarkable piece of Karl Lagerfeld-era Chanel and a true fashion collector’s garment.  This exact design appeared on the Chanel Resort 2008 runway, presented in Los Angeles in 2007. Vogue Runway — Chanel Resort 2008⁠  The dress is an extraordinary composition of translucent black organza, layered asymmetrical ruffles, indigo-violet openwork trim, gathered tiers and long satin ribbon, with a faded graphic textile visible beneath the sheer layers. The result is almost architectural—part garment, part textile artwork.  The deliberate transparency and asymmetry are original to the runway design; the exposed areas are not missing panels.
