Product Details

Something old, something borrowed. Perfect for a wedding. Cruise 2004. Karl Lagerfeld, in his twentieth year at the house, working in the quieter register the Cruise collections had then — before the destination shows, when Croisière was still shown in the Paris salons for the women who actually wore the clothes. What that means is a suit made without spectacle. No braid, no gilt chain-link at the cuff, no obvious signaling. Just the bouclé itself, nubbed and irregular and alive in the light, cut into a collarless jacket and an A-line skirt that skims rather than clings.
