SPECIFICS AS I STATED BEFORE, ONE OF THE ASPECTS THAT ATTRACT ME THE MOST IN BUYING VINTAGE IS THAT IT DOESN’T COME EASY. IN OUR CONSUMER SOCIETY, ALL THAT WE WANT IS SO EASILY AVAILABLE AND OUR URGES CAN BE IMMEDIATELY SATISFIED. WE CAN MAKE UP OUR MIND THAT WE ‘NEED’ SOMETHING, WE WANT TO HAVE IT RIGHT AWAY, WE GO TO A SHOP, TO PURCHASE WHAT WE THOUGHT WANTED SO BAD AND AS QUICKLY AS THE URGE CAME, THE JOY OF POSSESSING THE ITEM FADES AWAY. WHEN FALLING FOR SOMETHING VINTAGE, THE PROCESS IS DIFFERENT. THE RIGHT SIZE, COLOR, AND SHAPE OF THE ITEM ON YOUR WISHLIST MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE RIGHT AWAY. RESEARCH, TIME, AND PATIENCE ARE REQUIRED, AS I OFTEN TELL DISAPPOINTED CLIENTS WHO DON'T MANAGE TO SEEM TO FIND THEIR DREAM JACKET AS QUICKLY AS THEY HOPED FOR. MONTHS MIGHT PASS, AND IN SOME CASES EVEN YEARS. FOR ME, IT WORKS EXACTLY THE SAME.

FOR A LONG TIME I KEEP A LIST OF DREAM JACKETS I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER AT KERN1 ONE DAY, JACKETS THAT I HAVE SPOTTED ONCE IN VINTAGE EDITORIALS, BOOKS, RUNWAY PICTURES OR WORN BY INSPIRING WOMEN I MET. AT THE TOP OF THE LIST FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER THERE WAS THE ULTIMATE VINTAGE LITTLE BLACK JACKET: CLASSIC SHAPED, MADE OF THE SOFTEST AND HIGHEST QUALITY TWEED, TWO PATCH POCKETS, AND TO TOP IT OFF, THE INTERLACED GOLD-TONE AND LEATHER CHAIN FROM CHANEL'S FAMOUS CLASSIC FLAP BAG DRAPED AROUND THE EDGES OF THE JACKET. ELEGANT AND EDGY. AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE FASHION HOUSE CHANEL STANDS FOR IN MY EYES, THE PERFECT BALANCE, ALL CAUGHT IN THIS SPECIFIC GARMENT.

IN 1995, FOR THE ICONIC AUTUMN/WINTER COLLECTION OF THAT YEAR, KARL LAGERFELD CREATED THIS OUTSTANDING LITTLE BLACK JACKET WITH INTERLACED CHAIN TRIM. THE JACKET HAS ALL FEATURES OF THE CLASSIC LBJ OF THE FRENCH FASHION HOUSE: THE COLLARLESS NECKLINE, THE TWO PATCH POCKETS, THE TRIM ALL AROUND THE EDGES THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE ELEGANT FIT OF THE PIECE, THE MODEST CC-LOGO BUTTONS AT THE CUFFS, THE HIP LENGTH, AND TAILORED FIT. TO MAKE THE JACKET AS BEAUTIFUL FROM THE INSIDE AS FROM THE OUTSIDE - SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR COCO CHANEL - IT IS LINED IN PURE CC-LOGO SILK AND FINISHED WITH A TRADEMARK CHAIN IN THE HEM, TO MAKE IT HANG PERFECTLY AROUND YOUR BODY. IT COMES WITH A MATCHING PENCIL SKIRT WHICH FINISHES ABOVE THE KNEE. IT FASTENS WITH A ZIPPER, AND FEATURES SAME-STYLE BUTTONS AS THE JACKET AT BACK OF THE BOTTOM.

THIS IS THE ULTIMATE VINTAGE LITTLE BLACK ENSEMBLE AND IT IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO THE WARDROBE OF ANY DISCERNING CHANEL COLLECTOR
