An ethereal and rare Chanel creation from the Spring/Summer 1989 collection, designed under Karl Lagerfeld’s direction. This gown embodies timeless elegance, drawing inspiration from classical Grecian drapery while retaining the modern refinement of late-80s Chanel. A truly special piece, it would make an unforgettable wedding dress for a bride with exquisite taste.

Crafted in fluid ivory silk chiffon, the gown features a finely pleated bodice with asymmetric draping that cascades across one shoulder, creating a sculptural, goddess-like silhouette. The long sheer sleeves add a touch of romantic modesty, while the full-length skirt falls in layered, weightless pleats that move with effortless grace.

The back reveals a deep scoop and a row of ornate gold buttons, each intricately cast with mythological motifs—a striking couture detail that highlights the gown’s Greco-Roman inspiration. One shoulder is finished with an extended draped panel, evoking the line of a classical himation.

A piece of Chanel history, this gown captures Lagerfeld’s ability to fuse antiquity with modernity, translating ancient codes of beauty into high fashion.
