Chanel Fall 1997 Black Wool Double-Breasted Crop Top
An exceptional archival Chanel piece from the Fall 1997 collection by Karl Lagerfeld, this black cropped top reimagines classic tailoring through a bold, structured silhouette. Crafted from 100% wool with a luxurious 100% silk lining, the design features an elongated plunging V-neckline, broad shoulder straps, and a sharply tailored waist that creates a corset-inspired shape.
The double-breasted front is accented with six black buttons, while subtle vertical paneling adds structure and definition throughout the bodice. The cropped length and dramatic neckline give this piece a distinctly late-1990s aesthetic, balancing Chanel’s signature tailoring with a more daring, modern sensibility.
