-SPECIAL- "CHANEL" 90s-2000s Crushed Velvet Long Dress

We would like to introduce you to some special pieces from CHANEL, a brand that has brought about changes in women's clothing, values, and lifestyles with its many innovative designs, and remains an object of desire for women even now, more than 100 years after its founding.

This masterpiece features crushed velvet with glossy shadows flowing vertically as the main feature, and is a long piece that incorporates the craftsmanship of ``CHANEL BOUTIQUE.''

First, to prove the age, the black "CHANEL BOUTIQUE" tag that can be seen around the neck has embroidered lettering and the placement of the Coco mark, a design that was commonly seen in the late 1990s to early 2000s.

Additionally, it is important to note that the material chosen for this piece is velvet and not tweed, which fits in well with the atmosphere of the late 1990s, when Karl Lagerfeld was moving towards evening textures while maintaining the maison's codes. Overall, it is highly likely to be from the late 1990s (particularly around 1996 to 1999).

The core of the design is Chanel's signature appeal, with its "surfaces."

The collar is not large and bold, and the eye falls from the V-shaped neckline to the placket. This line is bordered by a thin blade, so the outline stands out quietly against the black, giving a sharp impression the moment you put it on.

Velvet is a material that absorbs and reflects light, and its shade changes depending on the angle from which it is viewed, so the vertical unevenness becomes stripes of shadow, making it a special "black with character" without the need for additional decoration.

The front is lined with small gold buttons, which are arranged in an excellent way to not overly show off the Coco Mark design, but rather to maintain the dignity of the material and silhouette.

The same style of buttons are also placed on the cuffs, creating a jewel-like shining spot just on the wrist, making your movements look beautiful.

Furthermore, the blade that runs from the front to the hem gives a "straight line" to the soft shadows of the velvet, so even though it is long, it doesn't look stretched out and the design naturally emphasizes the vertical lines.

The silhouette is not like a dress that clings to the body, but rather has a loose, airy feel like a long coat.It can be worn as a neat dress when closed in front, or as a gown when open, giving it a different look.

The inside has a smooth lining, allowing you to move around without losing the velvet texture, so even though it is long, it is stress-free and combines practicality and elegance.

The styling is beautiful in that it makes the most of the beauty of the surface without intentionally adding more elements.

For example, if you wear it over a minimalist top and elegant slacks, accenting it only with braids and buttons, you'll create an urban vibe that's typical of the Karl period.

Another option is to layer it lightly over a dress or slim-fitting one-piece, allowing the vertical shadows to linger, which will truly bring out the strength of this velvet.

Please take this opportunity.
