Size: small 

Condition: excellent

This highly coveted Chanel black and white angel-sleeve fitted jumpsuit dates back to Karl Lagerfeld’s epic 2009 spring-summer runway collection. During his decades as creative director of Chanel, Lagerfeld transformed the house into a modern powerhouse, masterfully balancing Coco Chanel’s codes with sharp wit, theatrical runway spectacles, and an unmistakable contemporary edge that reshaped fashion. This unforgettable spring-summer show is a perfect example as it was staged inside the Grand Palais, where a full-scale façade of Chanel’s legendary 31 Rue Cambon headquarters was constructed complete with a street-style runway. Vogue praised the collection, writing: “It was a charming, expensive shot of celebratory fun rolled out with supreme confidence.”

This ultra chic jumpsuit appeared as Look 58 on the beautiful Raquel Zimmermann, who also showcased the piece in the February 2009 issue of US Vogue. The design showcases a romantic white semi-sheer silk blouse with dramatic angel sleeves, finished with delicate lace trims and finely textured vertical paneling that adds depth and softness. Black silk satin bows anchor the shoulders and define the bust, drawing attention to the low satin cups that frame the neckline with graphic contrast. Below, the tailored black stretch-cotton trousers sculpt the body before tapering cleanly down the leg, creating a sleek, elongated line. Karl really created such a figure flattering silhouette. Acquiring an archival Lagerfeld-era Chanel means owning a chapter of modern fashion history—one defined by intelligence and unmistakable Parisian allure. Effortlessly chic yet highly distinctive, this jumpsuit transitions seamlessly from cocktail soirées to fashion-forward evening events. This is a rare opportunity to invest in a collectible Chanel that remains as relevant now as it was on the runway.
