The CHANEL 1998 Fall-Winter 98A collection “Coco Deauville” turns an early House reference into a distinctly 1990s wardrobe. Karl Lagerfeld drew on Gabrielle Chanel’s 1910s time in Deauville and Biarritz, with the show presented in Paris.

Tweed jackets and knitwear carry the idea most clearly: relaxed seaside associations are reworked through the sharper proportions and finish of the Karl Lagerfeld era.
