Karl Lagerfeld for Chloé 1981 Archival Silk Dress

An archival Chloé silk dress from 1981, designed during Karl Lagerfeld’s celebrated tenure at the house. Cut in ivory silk, the dress features geometric embroidered motifs with delicate sheer panel inserts, creating a subtle interplay between opacity and transparency. The dropped waist opens into a beautifully constructed layered skirt with pointed, handkerchief-like edges, while softly gathered three-quarter sleeves complete the silhouette.

A distinctive example of Lagerfeld-era Chloé, combining romantic fluidity with the graphic detailing characteristic of the house during this period.
