Gabrielle Chanel is the designer most responsible for establishing the modern way of dressing that encompasses comfort, function and simplicity. This coat, dating from the period of Chanel's renaissance after World War II, embodies her design philosophy in its materials and cut. The design is closely modeled on the suits she was producing at the same time. The jaunty stripes, self belt and oversized pockets give the coat a classic sportif look, however the curly lamb lining makes this a luxurious garment, a striking example of highly customized work from the Chanel atelier.
