Curatorial Description

CHANEL · Iconic Black Fluffy Tweed Jacket with Gold-Tone CC Buttons 2020 Runway Collection · Virginie Viard — As seen on Vittoria Ceretti on the runway and in the CHANEL advertising campaign — Legendary Runway & Campaign Collectible — One of the defining black jackets of the Virginie Viard chapter at CHANEL // There are black Chanel jackets that belong quietly to the House vocabulary, and then there are those that become an image of a particular moment. This one belongs firmly to the latter // Size mark 38 FR / Condition: never worn // MATERIAL AUTHORITY • Refined black fluffy tweed with an unusually rich, tactile surface — soft in appearance yet sufficiently structured to preserve the jacket’s clean line • Fine shimmering threads are worked through the black weave, catching light intermittently rather than producing an obvious metallic effect • The depth of the textile is especially striking in movement: areas of dense black alternate with softer highlights, giving the surface an almost feathered dimension HOUSE CODES — CC Buttons • Gold-tone CC logo buttons form the principal jewellery element, arranged in a precise vertical sequence along the front SILHOUETTE • A shallow rounded neckline keeps the upper line spare and directs attention toward the texture and buttons • Long sleeves preserve the narrow vertical proportion of the jacket, interrupted only by the crisp ivory bands • Contrasting ivory bands around the sleeves create the jacket’s most immediately recognisable graphic detail, cutting cleanly through the black surface • Tonal silk lining finishes the interior with the restraint expected of Chanel tailoring • The traditional chain link at the interior hem provides the hidden weight that stabilises the lower edge and gives the jacket its characteristic fall
