This extraordinary dress hails from Karl Lagerfeld’s Spring/Summer 1994 Haute Couture collection for Chanel, a season that marked one of the most iconic runway moments of the 1990s . Presented at the Grand Palais in Paris, the show was a masterclass in Lagerfeld’s ability to fuse Coco Chanel’s timeless codes with a bold, modern femininity. Think sheer fabrics, body-conscious silhouettes, and flirtatious detailing that redefined couture for a new generation. Worn on the runway by Claudia Schiffer, this navy blue chiffon cocktail dress is a rare archival treasure. The Haute Couture label confirms its atelier origin, and the craftsmanship speaks volumes: a ruched bodice with sweetheart neckline, delicate spaghetti straps, and a tiered chiffon skirt that moves with ethereal grace. An integrated corset provides sculptural support beneath the softness, a signature Lagerfeld juxtaposition. Haute Couture labelled Integrated corset for sculpted support and structure Ruched bodice with sweetheart neckline and delicate spaghetti straps Tiered chiffon skirt for fluid movement and ethereal volume Includes: Original corset and brooch adorned with royal blue rhinestones and faux pearls, presented in box This dress is not just a garment. It is a moment in fashion history, a reflection of Lagerfeld’s romantic grandeur, worn by one of the era’s defining supermodels and crafted at the height of Chanel’s 1990s reinvention. Show more
