arl Lagerfeld was iconic for

more than his trademark look — white hair pulled back in a low ponytail, paired with dark black sunnies. He was the creative director of CHANEL fashion house for almost four decades, following its founder Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel. The brand was in need of reinvigoration, and his artistic genius proved to be one of the most perfect pairings in fashion history.

latest photoshoot, our stylists
recreated timeless CHANEL
LOOKS by Lagerfeld.

rom Marilyn Monroe’s beloved CHANEL No. 5 perfume to the popularization of the “little black dress,” the fashion house has had significant influence on culture and style. Reimagining the color black in a time which favored elaborate designs made Chanel’s elegant French sensibilities available to the everyday woman. Black dresses have since been a go-to for effortless style, like the Jina.

“One is never
OVERDRESSED or
UNDERDRESSED
with a little black dress.”

-Lagerfeld

LUCY’s Alliana proves black does not mean underwhelming. Sheer was a favorite on the spring/summer 2023 runways, and this overlay features sequin details and flares at the wrists. Our Greer mini is a modern take on the LBD, with halter straps and cutouts making it a summer party favorite.

The powder blue Renae’s bubble skirt is a retro fit made flattering with its corset top and sweetheart neckline. For long-sleeve glam, the satin blue Destina has a sleek, polished charm. Complete the look with chunky, CHANEL-inspired pearls.

The Jude is emblematic of vintage chic with its simple, delicate florals and white lace detailing around the neckline. Chanel loved a pearlesque white and its ability to capture light and illuminate the face. This soft lilac detail is daintily feminine for the spring season, and transforms into a sultry night look when paired with a classic CHANEL red lip.
