Chanel in 1964
"More than ever, US fashion is on Chanel’s wavelength; now it’s Chanel right down the line – from the top of the head (rounded, bowed, bangs) to the tips of the fingers (in a short glove – her long narrow 18th-century sleeve has made the one-button glove as right as rain again) to the toes(soft and dark surrounded by a sling of really naked-looking kidskin; stockings of the same pinky beige). Alldeliriously pretty and sexy with one of those brawny Chanel tweeds… Very correct hag to the jacket, short skirt with a cloche-like slide over hip, lots of action at the hem – couldn’t be better.”
VOGUE, February 1st, 1964
The slimline cut fur-trimmed wool coats were the bestsellers of the 1963/64 collection.
Chanel's eternal favourite idea - this incarnation of the trousersuit was the most influential.
These bulkier tweeds in raspberry and mustard feature a shorter jacket with double flap pockets, reveres and turn-back cuffs emphasising the longer, leaner skirt. New-style hammered gilt chains and matching hat complete the new classic look.
Equal parts coquetry and frosty protocol - diagonal cut checks and flowers, lined in textured silk.
60s brocade catsuit with sheerest black coat. Chanel loved to undercut dramatic fabrics with younger styles.
The youthful shape of the 60s suit; schoolgirl bow camellia and blend of tweed and checks.
The all time classic cardigan suit, with grosgrain bow, pearls and gilt chain belt.
Always the clever contradiction - formal day costume in dressed-down stripes.
The Chanel suit, little adornment except 2 gilt chains, hallmark buttons and the trademark slingbacks give the right length of leg. Photographed in Mademoiselle's apartment.
