Chanel’s little black jacket is in the spotlight at the moment. Back in November, I posted preview images from a book about the Chanel Little Black Jacket worn by many famous personalities including Dakota Fanning, Elle Fanning, Charlotte Casiraghi, Saskia De Brauw and Daphne Groeneveld. In anticipation of its release, Chanel has created a video showing the making of a Chanel Little Black Jacket.
CHANEL invites you to discover the secrets of the little black jacket, at the heart of their ateliers, rue Cambon in Paris. “It is one of the symbols that defines the style of CHANEL. There are things that never go out of fashion, jeans, a white blouse, and a CHANEL jacket,” comments Karl Lagerfeld.
From the initial sketch by Karl Lagerfeld, the jacket takes shape through numerous stages – the draping, the cutting, the assembling, and the position of the label, the trimming, the buttons and the chain which calls on our savoir-faire.
A true reflection of the expertise and the creativity of CHANEL, the little jacket is produced according to the time honoured tradition of the House with the most meticulous care for the smallest detail.
