Label Text:Karl Lagerfeld reinvented the Chanel tweed suit with each collection. In this version, he pairs the jacket and skirt with a matching corset and completes the look with a simple cotton T-shirt instead of a silk blouse. Stamped with Chanel’s double-C logo, the T-shirt updates the suit for the new logo-driven era of status dressing.
