An ultra chic and highly coveted Chanel ruby red silk-wool blend hourglass gown dating back to Karl Lagerfeld's 2010 'Coco on the Lido' resort collection. This exquisite gown was runway look number 38, modeled by the striking Inguna Butan. More than just an archival piece, this gown beautifully reflects Karl’s deep admiration for Chanel’s rich history. The collection made its debut in Venice on the boardwalk—one of Coco Chanel’s beloved summer retreats. Chanel visited Venice for nearly a decade starting in 1919, where she met her long-time friend and collaborator Sergei Diaghilev. Vogue described the collection as an elegant and glamorous tribute to an important chapter of Coco Chanel’s life, subtly referencing influences like Visconti, Fellini, the Venice carnival, and the city’s artistic heritage. Lagerfeld himself noted, "I don't use it to make costume. I was actually more interested in the café society of the thirties and the life Chanel lived here, which is gone now."

This gorgeous runway gown encapsulates Karl’s reinvention of the Chanel mystique perfectly. The fabric used to create this rare showstopper is exceptional; a fully lined silk-wool bouclé blend in an alluring ruby red color. Enhanced by asymmetrical ruching at the waist, the hourglass silhouette is so figure flattering. The skirting skims the hip and flares out with an impressive back slight fishtail design. The off-shoulder neckline with sheer mesh short sleeves gives the dress a modern, yet classically elegant vibe. The bodice is padded for extra support; really capturing the hourglass shape. I especially adore the braided metallic gold trim detailing that adds depth and texture. Inside, the gown is lined with a scripted Camélia silk, a signature touch that speaks to Chanel's attention to detail and luxury. Paired with a logo zipper at the back to ensure a perfect fit, this gown is a touching homage to the days of Coco in Venice. A truly timeless Chanel look that will become a forever favorite.
