Chanel RTW ~ Reveals, Chit-chat & Info thread

[ms piggy]

The jacket is really lovely open and closed. Looks great on you.

Thanks GK. Gotta think how to wear/pair the jacket on its own. I adore the look of the set with matching skirt.

So I finally got to try the denim pieces from 21A Metiers. Unsure about the blue denim worn (open) as a jacket versus buttoned up like a top. The matching blue denim skirt was not available to try ala the runway look. The more colourful skirt on black denim was surprisingly lovelier than expected. Love the juxtaposition of denim with the silk blouse. Mulling or marinating both and the skirt has more colours than my usual. I do love long skirts!

I really love the denim on you! The jacket looks great open or buttoned and the skirt is very pretty. Love the white top too. I wish I had been able to track down the black version.

Love the crop version. I was only sent the longer version in a picture. View attachment 5162089

This is great piece! Are you in the US? If so, could you share whether you found at a stand-alone boutique or if one of the department stores bought this? Many thanks.

I love the long sweeping skirts; full length, ankle grazing denim; and, chunky, colorful hand knit sweaters on the runway, but they don’t really work on someone short like me who has to create the illusion of a waist. In general I think finer gauge chanel knitwear helps with that: it slims the upper arm and implies an hour glass shape where none exists. But the pants and skirts are hard. So I’m sticking to brunello (grey linen cargos); Hermes (slightly cropped but full and smoothing black) with some Dior for frivolity:

2021 chanel top, cardigan; and a boucle dress from my closet; Hermes cashmere silk cardigan and pants; Dior techno taffeta hoodie dress (apples and roses); all with Hermes mini craie epsom Della cavalleria, PHW, and chanel espadrille mules

i keep thinking of getting a big chanel tweed 19 bag, but the fabric lady diors, the men’s saddles, and the mini Della cavalleria suddenly seem crisp, fun, crossbody and cheaper

Thanks so much for these! Both of these pieces look *AMAZING* on you!! Also confirms what I thought all along - the ‘jacket’ is really meant to be a blouse. That’s why Chanel never modeled it unbuttoned. It looks great on you either way, but agree it’s much harder to pair unbuttoned.

I love the denim top on miss piggy and the cardi top on 880 ❤️❤️

 

[Styleanyone]

@pigleto972001, do you have a price for the grey one? True to size? Thank you.

Hi! Yes it’s 4200 usd. I am wearing my usual 40 and it’s pretty true to size. It’s a bit on the cropped side. Here’s the tag for it. The buttons are darker but have the sparkly cc in the middle.

My SA has found the crop cardigan for me.
I'm hoping it fits...
Pigleto, I'm always inspired from what you try on!

Thank you so much for your kind words @TankerToad! I find all of you very inspiring and I love reading your posts; learning from the collective wisdom here; and, being a small part!

@thank you @pigleto972001 ! I loved both the grey and pink cropped cardigans on you!

 

[pigleto972001]

Awesome bags !!! Post pics when you try it !

880, I know. I miss the 3650 and the 3950 prices of the cardigans !! The cashmere is thicker than it has been previously and the buttons are pretty sparkly. There are buttons on the cuffs too. They are small slits on the side. When I first saw the pink one I just thought it was so pretty .
