A fine gold sequined cocktail suit, Autumn-Winter 1991-1992,
labelled and numbered 69717,69718, the jacket lavishly embroidered by Lesage with large paillettes in shades of gold and copper with black sequined collar and cuffs, pointed rear tails, domed black velvet buttons with gilt CC monograms; the matching mini-skirt of goffered Hurel black silk tulle with van-dyked satin upper sections and waistband, layered petticoats, chest 92cm, 36in, skirt waist 66cm, 26in (2)
This ensemble took 310 hours to complete. It was modelled on the runway by Claudia Schiffer. Large sized sequins were a major feature of this collection. Darkly romantic, Lagerfeld told Women's Wear Daily that 'It's for the city ballerina, who skates through the daily boredom of life and floats through the mystery.'
