Evening Coat, House of Chanel, Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel, 1927

2

Evening Coat, House of Chanel, Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel, 1927. 

Silk jacquard patterned with black and green graduation and gold chrysanthemum motif; matching tie-collar; two panels at back; wadded sleeve hems.

The chrysanthemum had often appeared as a fashionable motif sine the latter half of the nineteenth century. The textile with woven chrysanthemums in Japanese makie-like (gold lacquer) style represents the taste of Art Deco. The soft wadded cuffs are similar to the kimono’s fuki (wadded hem) in style.
