Exceptional Pre-Fall 2015 Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Runway Look 83 Black Silk & Lace Metiers d'Art Dress designer-jean-patou Super rare and super fabulousThis gorgeous Chanel has an amazing provenance. Its twin walked the runway for Look 83 that season, Julianne Moore wore one to Cannes that year, and Elle Fanning also wore one from us to Cannes just this year. We are so pleased to have another one and this one even has a beautiful Chanel brooch that will be sent with it. The Metiers d'Art presentations are always a celebration of the amazing craftsmanship and talent of the Chanel Artisans. Vogue
