CHANEL FALL/WINTER 1994 (94P) GOLD PLATED HAMMERED CC LOGO MEDALLION BLACK ENTWINED LEATHER CHAIN LINK BELT

Gold-plated belt from Chanel’s Fall/Winter 1994 ready-to-wear runway show under the artistic direction of Karl Lagerfeld.

“Fashion today is more about attitude than detailing.” noted Vogue when quoting Karl Lagerfeld in October 1993. “When he looked to the streets for Chanel’s Spring 1994 collection, he accessorized pastel tweed suits with oversized rapper’s chains and baggy boy shorts held up with suspenders. More proof that Lagerfeld was and is the industry’s pre-eminent pop culture sponge? Capping it all off: a pair of popular-in-the-nineties in-line skates covered with—what else?—Chanel’s double-C. Vogue photographed Karen Mulder looking like a million bucks in the designer’s artfully designed blue pastel tweed three-piece suit consisting of a jacket, skirt and corset, matching bucket hat and a belt used as an accessory to synch in the waist ever so meticulously.

Victoire de Castellane’s bold aesthetic and playful approach to designs led her to leading Chanel’s costume jewelry department into an era of vibrancy and energetic ingenuity under Karl Lagerfeld’s creative direction. This gold plated belt is in very good condition with no mentionable wear, as photographed.
