A rare Chanel Haute Couture dress from Karl Lagerfeld’s Autumn/Winter 1995–1996 collection - an extraordinary piece of 1990s couture history. Worn on the runway by Trish Goff, this luminous chartreuse Bianchini silk chiffon dress is entirely hand-embroidered by Maison Lesage in vertical cascades of silver bugle beads. The empire-line cut with wide straps highlights the décolleté, while the layered chiffon construction gives the dress fluid movement and lightness.
Accompanied by its original matching silk tulle stole with beaded ends, this ensemble offers versatility: the stole may be worn draped as a shawl or styled as a veil, making the dress an exquisite option for a modern bride seeking a couture alternative to tradition.
The creation of this dress required over 450 hours of craftsmanship - 200 hours of atelier work and 250 hours of embroidery by Lesage.
