Unveiled at Karl Lagerfeld’s opulent Métiers d’Art 2019 presentation at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this blue and gold tweed jacket stands as a striking homage to the splendor of ancient Egypt—one of the designer’s final grand statements for the house of Chanel. The collection celebrated the virtuosity of Chanel’s artisan ateliers, and this piece exemplifies their mastery: richly textured tweed interwoven with metallic threads evokes the luminous palette of lapis lazuli and gold, while refined detailing recalls the regalia of pharaonic adornment.
Cut in a classic Chanel silhouette with subtly structured shoulders and Gripoix buttons, the jacket marries historical inspiration with modern elegance. Embodying both the imaginative sweep of Lagerfeld’s vision and the exceptional craftsmanship of the Maison’s métiers.
