ICONIC ITEM: CHANEL F/W 1991 NAVY DENIM BOUCLE JACKET

The Chanel Fall/Winter 1991 collection designed by Karl Lagerfeld, known as the Nouveau Rapper collection, was a pivotal runway moment that positioned Chanel as one of hip-hop's greatest status symbols. The streetwear influences of this iconic collection are seen here by the incorporation of denim trim added to the otherwise classic bouclé Chanel blazer.

While a Chanel blazer is classic and stands perfectly well alone, this look as a whole was something quite unique. A diverse group of models strutted the runway in Chanel’s traditional suiting, and the effortless street-style inspiration was made quite clear with unusual layering. This particular runway show was a game-changing pivot for Chanel, and ushered the brand into the modern era.
