The Tweed Chanel jacket, from every angle

La ligne :

Right, structured and closed edge to edge.She is her, and she alone, who defines the pace."The elegance of clothing is the freedom to move," said Gabrielle Chanel.The front is mounted in the right, without chest pliers, to gain flexibility without losing the maintenance.Same principle for the back, simply separated by a seam in the middle.The sleeve is mounted high on the shoulder to ensure maximum ease.The lining, it meets the same requirements: as many lining les as tweed les.The two fabrics, intimately stitching, in an almost invisible way, then move together, without anything hindering the movement.To ensure a perfect fall, a brass chain is affixed to the bottom of the jacket on the lining.

La matière :

The tweed.From a fabric reserved for the male locker room, Coco Chanel makes a signature from the middle of the 1920.Inspired by the relaxed elegance of men who are going through his life, and in particular the Duke of Westminster, Gabrielle Chanel transgresses the dress codes of her time by choosing fabrics for their comfort, like the jersey, then the tweed, thatit will make even more flexible.Uni or chined, the tweeplacing, over the decades and collections, more airy, soft or fluffy, composed of buttoned wool, curly, speckled, sometimes mixed with ribbons or even silver or metallic threads.

Les détails :

The ganse is obvious: stripes, braids or large grain over the contours of the jacket, the edge of the pockets and the bottom of the sleeves, and print a graphic force.The buttons are like jewelry, in galality, resin or metal, adorned with a lion's head, an ear of wheat, a camellia or with a double C.At the heart of the fall-winter 2020/2021 ready-to-wear collection, and for the first time in its history, tweed jackets are closed by "gesture, more lively", confides Virginie Viard, the artistic director.
