–SPECIAL– "CHANEL" 2011SS Wide-leg high-waist fringe hem trousers

Built on the foundation of Gabrielle Chanel’s free-spirited elegance, CHANEL continues to update the image of women while capturing the spirit of the times. We are proud to introduce this special piece.

This masterpiece beautifully dissolves the boundary between masculine and feminine with CHANEL’s distinctive aesthetic sensibility.

The designer is Karl Lagerfeld, and the aesthetic of his most brilliant period—re-editing rather than preserving classics—is condensed into a quiet black design.

Made of 100% wool, the fabric has the dense quality unique to smooth gabardine. It drapes naturally and follows the body’s movement, making it not just wide but also elegantly refined in even walking posture.

The silhouette features a high-waist design that makes the waist appear higher and elongates the leg line. The vertical tension created by the front center line prevents the wide width from looking baggy, leaving a poised and elegant aura.

The front pocket is gathered with a diagonal slit, making it easy to insert the hand and natural in movement. It’s pleasing that practicality is seamlessly woven into the refined design.

The back features a flap pocket and a CC logo adorned with black line stones on the button. From a distance, it appears understated, but upon closer inspection, the gradation of black shines brightly, leaving a jewelry-like impression.

As a credible link to the 2011 Spring/Summer season, the printed item numbers P36819V19448 on care labels indicate Spring/Summer, and the multilingual Italian-made label, along with the domestic代理店 address at Ginza 3-5-3, confirms consistency with early 2010s specifications. Additionally, the collection code 11B, stamped in a handwritten style, aligns with this.

And the greatest charm lies at the hem. The wide double finish lowers the center of gravity, while fringe-like cut edges at the seam add a refined touch. This design preserves the formality of traditional slacks while elegantly referencing CHANEL’s signature fringe, maintaining a sense of sophistication.

This subtle sense of discomfort makes it easy to incorporate into daily wear, while still maintaining a core that can be properly archived. It’s a piece that is not only for dressing up but also naturally chosen on days when you want to elevate your personal style standards.

In terms of styling, pairing a simple shirt or a flowing blouse to create a clean waistline completes a refined mood characteristic of the Karl era. Layering a cropped jacket or a minimal coat accentuates the volume created by the turned-up hem, resulting in a sophisticated presence regardless of gender.

Definitely take this opportunity.
