This was a key look of the collection. Lagerfeld in a post show interview stated, that the collection (which was in part inspired by American model Suzy Parker) was "A comedy in three acts: tailoring, cocktail, elegant evening.'' The suits were a major feature, "It is the time to show the shape, the silhouette to make it pure, clean and impeccable, I love the jacket.'' On the runway the suit was worn with an additional rope of pearls belt and gilt cuffs.
This ensemble took 205 hours to make.
