1970s Karl Lagerfeld for Chloe Black and Silver Silk Blouse

This is a Karl Lagerfeld designed piece for Chloe and made in the late 1970s to early 1980s. Its a black silk crepe with a striking, metallic lame floral design woven into the slightly sheer fabric. It has a typical dagger collar from the late 70s. The sleeves are tapered and are finished with a double buttoned cuff. The blouse fastens to the front with seven silver lame buttons; it is a straight cut with two rounded side slits so that it can be worn untucked into skirts and trousers.

Labelled a French 42, it runs smaller and is now best suited for UK sizes 6–10 or US 2-6. In excellent condition it looks barely worn with no issues. Early Chloe pieces are very collectible and really have stood the test of time; the blouse has such a modern look and can be dressed up or down making it a versatile piece.
