Chanel Recreates the Tweed

Chanel fashion guru, Karl Lagerfeld, has reinvented the trend of perforated and unstitched jeans by creating a tweed vest ripped at the elbows, reports Fashionmag.fr.  The stylist presented his ready-to-wear collection at the Grand Palais in Paris today (February 29) during the fall-winter fashion show.

The “new-look” tweed vest is a longer version of the traditional vest that is worn at the waist.

"It is a very modern attitude to damage tweed this way, and to be able to wear it with a belt.  This is totally relaxed" said the stylist to FashionMag.

The lassos (long and light cape) long tweed skirts, short dresses, mini-skirts, white blouses, redingotes and lace mittens where also part of the fashion show.
