When you think of
Chanel you think of three things: Chanel No. 5, the Chanel 2.55, and the iconic
Chanel Suit. The boxy jackets and coordinating skirts of tweeds and luxury
linings were created for Chanel’s 1923 Haute Couture collection. In keeping with
Chanel’s menswear inspired garments the suits were not exactly like the Chanel
Suits we’ve come to recognize today. After WWII in 1954, Coco reintroduced her tweed
separates and that is the tighter skirt and boucle jacket Chanel Suit with trim
we know today. This iconic suit costs between $2,000 and $13,000.
