This elegant black runway documented skirt is an early design by Karl Lagerfeld for the Chanel 1985 spring collection. Bringing the brand’s timeless sophistication to a pleated mini-skirt silhouette, this wool and silk piece has a tiered construction. The top layer is a super-short mini-skirt cut in a pencil-skirt shape which hugs the hips. The bottom layer is box-pleated and falls to just above the knee, kicking out around the wearer as they move. At the back of the skirt, sit two faux welt pockets each crowned with a black silk and gold metal button. The reverse of the buttons are debossed with a capital C alongside “CHANEL”. The back of the skirt fastens with a hidden tonal zip and hook-and-eye clasp. The inside is lined with black silk.
