This outfit from Chanel helps to look a bit like the great King Karl who wears a white shirt and a short black tie almost as a daily uniform and who reigns the Chanel kingdom since 1983. The white blouse is cut like a classic men's shirt and the other one impresses with its typical style of the 90s: pointed collar, wide cut, long cuffs which are decorated with gold buttons showing the cc-logo. The black tie is embroidered with white ornaments and the cc-emblem in the center. The pearl white cufflinks match perfectly to the white blouses.

Both blouses show some traces of wear especially on the lining at the collar and at the cuffs. The dimensions of the boyfriend style blouse are: 28.5 inch, (total length), arm length outside 20.5 inch and the collar circumference measures 15.4 inch. The other blouse has a total length of 22 inch, the arm length outside measures 23.6 inch; the collar has a circumference of 17.9 inch. The cufflinks are in very good condition; the diameter is 0.6 inch. The tie measures 12.4 inch in length, the neck’s circumference measures 17.9 inch.

CHANEL

Gabrielle Bonheur Chasnel, also known as Coco Chanel, is one of the most influential fashion designers of the 20th century. Known for her avant-garde and seductive style during the 1920s, her trend setting designs paved the way for what fashion has become today. Coco Chanel became the first great couturière because she adopted a new androgynous style made out of jersey. By the early 20s, Chanel launched her signature cardigan jacket and the following year matched its success with her versatile, semi-formal ‘little black dress’. Both pieces quickly became a Chanel trademark and an enduring fashion standard. To the jacket, she added the luxury Chanel Classic Flapbag 2.55, named after its launch in February 1955. Coco Chanel died on 10 January 1971 at the Hotel Ritz in Paris where she had a residence for more than 30 years. Since 1983, Karl Lagerfeld has been creative director of Chanel's fashion house. His contemporary creations are marked by unconventionality, perfectionism and uniqueness.
