About the Item:

From Chanel’s Spring 2006 ready-to-wear collection, this navy jacket has particular significance in Joanna’s wardrobe: it was the first piece of Chanel clothing she ever bought. She purchased it at Chanel’s 57th Street boutique in New York and remembers loving it for years. “This was my very first Chanel piece of clothing, and I loved it to infinity,” she says. After moving to Dallas, however, her relationship with conspicuous designer signatures changed, and the jacket went largely unworn for more than a decade. “I stopped wanting anything with very noticeable signage,” she explains. The result is a particularly well-preserved piece from Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel—and one with more than 20 years of history in Joanna’s closet. 

About the Label:

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel opened her first millinery shop in Paris in 1910, eventually building a house that fundamentally changed the way women dressed. Her relaxed tailoring, jersey, knitwear, and cardigan jackets replaced much of the rigidity of early-20th-century fashion with clothes designed for movement and ease. Karl Lagerfeld took over Chanel’s fashion collections in 1983 and spent more than three decades continually reinventing those house codes—tweed, quilting, chains, pearls, and the double-C among them—while making Chanel one of the defining fashion houses of the era.
