About this collection
Chanel’s 1916 wardrobe used machine-knit wool jersey supplied through Rodier for relaxed tops, skirts and maritime-inflected daywear. A material associated with utilitarian garments became the basis of a fluid high-fashion silhouette shaped by wartime scarcity and resort life.
