CHANEL 01S “Full Circle” | Karl Lagerfeld時期花呢外套、圓形與光影【2001 SS】 | HK

During Karl Lagerfeld’s era, CHANEL Spring Summer 2001 (01S) “Full Circle” was presented as the show that closed the year 2000. The colours were intense, yet the clothes looked remarkably light because circles, transparency and light were treated as one continuous idea. 花呢的立體輪廓與透明層次形成清晰對比，讓鮮色保持輕盈。

At the Carrousel du Louvre, stairs glowed red, pink, blue, coral and purple. The models seemed to walk over light itself, turning the venue into a stage that kept the 01S palette in motion.

The full show reveals how the neon background, transparent fabrics and saturated colour placements work in sequence.

Prints, tights and round bags complete “Full Circle”

Circles repeat beyond the prints across sheer blouses, dresses, skirts and tights, then continue into round bags. Their size and transparency change from one layer to the next, so even the multicolour looks never trap the eye in one place.

CHANEL codes extend from the face to the fingertips

Tulle veils, gloves and nails carry details that recall Coco, including a specially luminous varnish. Jackets and tweed are only part of the rhythm; the face and hands complete the visual line of 01S.

Tailoring and lightness in CHANEL 01S tweed jackets

The stronger the colour, the more compact tweed, fine edging and clean surfaces organise the silhouette. Separating the areas that hold their shape from the sheer sections and narrow trims shows why the 01S jacket is more than a statement palette.

Bringing circles and vivid colour into a current wardrobe

A single circular print or saturated piece works easily beside plain clothing. The character of 01S comes less from the amount of colour than from the breathing room created by skin, transparency and fine borders.
