This object was made by Chanel.

A sleeveless, knee-length evening dress and underslip with a loose fit, draped cowl neckline, and curved drop waistline and hemline. The dress features two tiers of long, lustrous silk fringe in gradient ombré shading from deep blue at the bottom through to deep blue-grey and light grey-blue at the top. The upper tier hangs from the shoulders over the torso, with the navy blue chiffon cowl draped over the top; the lower tier follows a curved line low on the hips. The matte, navy blue silk chiffon underslip is revealed through the fringe. The dress is displayed on a white mannequin with silver stand. The mannequin’s head is turned to our right, hands on hips, wearing a short white wig with bangs, which echoes the fringe of the dress.

Ensemble of seafoam green long-sleeved velvet jacket and pale grey-green pleated silk dress. The jacket is loose and boxy in shape, open down the front, with repeating interwoven floral motifs and vine-pattern edging stencilled in muted yellow-green. The jacket ties at the rounded neck with a long cord in the same yellow-green, knotted at the ends. The dress, worn under the jacket, is a straight column of irregularly pleated silk, emellished at both sides with a vertical line of round beads. The bottom edge of the dress flares out on the ground, curled at the edges like a lettuce leaf.
