2010s Chanel Metiers d Art Hamburg Knitted Dress

This documented Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld ribbed knit dress is from the pre-Fall 2018 Métiers d’Art show in Hamburg, the German seaport of his birth. We have attached runway look 33 and 34 to show both the wool pattern and the dress design respectively. The dress combines the practicality of winter dressing with a contemporary, almost abstract feel. Featuring a high roll neck and long sleeves, the dress is cut from a ribbed 100% wool blend, making it incredibly soft to the touch and even more comfortable to wear. The fabric itself is made up of a repeated abstract square design, in autumnal hues of rusty orange, plum pink, green, deep brown and cream. Fitted throughout the body, the dress falls to roughly below the knee, and would be perfect in the colder months with a pair of boots or funky tights.

Due to the stretchy nature of the fabric, it simply slips over the head, without need for a zip or fastening. It features the 'Chanel 31 Rue de Cambon' badge to the front left hip, signifying the Paris address bought by Coco Chanel herself in 1921. The dress is in superb condition with no faults or marks to note and looks unworn. It would best fit a UK 10, or 6 US and is labelled a French 40.
