Fall-Winter 1977- 1978 ready-to-wear by Karl Lagerfeld for Chloé. Outfit : " Flagrant"

She crosses the corridors like an ancient idea, noble and invincible. The velvet absorbs the light but never her dignity. Here, Casanova is not a man. It is an androgynous breath, a declaration of independence without a cry. The ivory rose at her collar is not decoration: it is a manifesto. The sleeves rise like two baroque organs, and the tall boots trace a military march of love. She does not seduce. She asserts. And reminds us that the most powerful seduction is the one born from a secret held with grace. Chloé signs here not an outfit, but a memory. That of a vanished century, of a ball beginning again, of a revolution contained in a single flower.
