Chanel RTW ~ Reveals, Chit-chat & Info thread

It’s nov 9 somewhere ! Couple try on pics.
I didn’t expect any pieces to have come in when I visited my SA so am wearing the usual joggers.

These were the 2 pieces both size 38. I’m a 40. The jacket was too cute ! And the cardi was nice too. I suspect I would have been more excited about it had I not seen it with the KS / Sofia jacket. I was surprised the cardi was cashmere. Very lightweight and comfortable

Hi ladies, help! My sa has a look 8 jacket in my size and I love everything about it but I’m unsure about the fringe part. I don’t live near the store so I can’t try it on. For those of you who have seen it in person and did the try on, what are your thoughts?

You need this black jacket!

Definitely agree that jackets are running a touch on the big side. First, the pink with black trim, OMG what can I say. My SA could not rip off the plastic fast enough. You ladies know this is my color and this jacket is gorgeous and a classic one for the ages for sure.
Reserved my regular size 36 and it was big, my beloved seamstress and I were mentally altering it and when it is done it will be fantastic. Needs shoulder work, sleeve shortening and some other minor fixes but CHF off the charts for me on this one!

Also tried the KS/Sophia II- ran big in my size. Like Pigleto said, GORGEOUS fabric, the white lining so elegant and the buttons- all stunning. However, it was boxy and short on me and although it is VERY classic Chanel, I am unsure about this one for me primarily because of the fit.

I tried on the black jacket Look 8 WOW!! This one was a surprise. My SA conveniently placed this one in the dressing room and didn't say anything (I did not reserve it). I have learned this is her code for making a "suggestion" lol!. Ladies, the fit was AMAZING, took 20 years off my looks in an instant. Great narrow shoulders, slim sleeves gives a beautiful hourglass figure without being vulgar, just incredible. So, that was enough to pivot me away from the KS jacket. This jacket also comes with a collar version and in some different colors. Will decide which version but this is a keeper for me. Also looking forward to the shorter version of this (no fringe) and I suspect if the fit is as terrific as the long version I will get one of those too.

Some beautiful knits, I am getting a open stitch white cashmere with black trim (classic cardigan style) so lightweight, soft and COMFORTABLE. My store only had a bit to show me but I had about 4 SA's in the dressing room with me as it was the first try ons they had seen. It was so fun! However, I could not photograph. Going back this upcoming weekend for fittings and will take pictures then.

Dear Snowball, thank you so much for posting your experience!
I love the pink jacket too and hopefully I’ll try it Later this week . My concern is that might be a bit like the white with the black heavy trims. I don’t like the cut on me, too boxy and the trims are so big that are uncomfortable, especially around the sleeves. Is the pink a bit fitted? Is it longer?
I worry that I have too many pink jackets..
I also reserved the jacket from look 8, but I think it looks similar /as vibe / to the black jacket from the by the beach collection.
I have similar one from Cosmopolite collection, and yes, the length is a bit difficult to pull off.
How short is the shorter version?
What is your view on this?

Pigleto, the black jacket looks the best on you! You wear it Much better than KS and Sophia !

+1000 with ^
i went specifically to try on a few pairs of combat boots that my SA transferred in for me. They didn’t work. Next tried a double flap with black and silver camellia painted leather. Then I tried on a bunch of boucle and crocheted jackets which made me look short and somewhat wide. Finally, fell in love with a cruise denim jacket, about 4450 USD, size 36. I’m normally a chanel 40. My SA who is a stickler for fit actually said not to go up to a 38 and take it in bc it would be too big all over. Alteration time for current collection, even just a sleeve shortening, is 3 weeks, as theyre backed up. With Dior skirt, medium LD, golden goose sneakers. (brunello metallic black crew neck sweater as an under layer. the sun burst pattern is a softer white than the jacket I wore in (Dior houndstooth last two pic), so I think the chanel will be easier to wear. There is a CC logo in the center of the sun, but I’m okay with that. Somehow, I’m not getting the same level of excitement and certainty (that kindmof snick in your head when you know something works) about chanel shoes ans bags, so I might stick to a few pieces of RTW Plus H for bags.

Wow - love all of theee but especially the black jacket in the third photo - which collection was this? If not too much trouble could I have the code for it at some point. If I can find it I’d like to try it. The t shirt under is pretty cute too!

Hanash, absolutely as periogirl had indicated, no problem to alter knits. I was prepared to do so on this white one if my size had not been available. At my store, only the 38 was not yet reserved. My SA went to work and was able to get the 36 sent. It is 4100 if I remember correctly. So soft, the shape does not look great on the hangar, but on the body it is lovely. Very classic and elegant.

hi snowball, do you have picture of short version of look 8. I asked my SA and she did not recall that one.

Would 40 in black give more length I wonder? I am trying this one too next week.

Both are beautiful. I’m hoping to get the cardigan, but can’t make it to the boutique, so I appreciate the pictures. Would you say the knit was an open weave and loose or more structured? TIA.
