While this outfit follows the style of the Chanel Suit, the neck and bottom of the blouse have been intentionally tailored to produce a disheveled look. The embroidered French term “longueur genou” (knee-length) with dotted line and scissors a little above the bottom of the unhemmed skirt prompts a smile. This outfit is one of the pieces from the prêt-a-porter collection of Demna Gvasalia’s Vetements brand, which was included in the official haute couture Paris Fashion Week calendar. While seeming to mock as stereotype the conventional thinking that simply wearing a Chanel Suit ensures fashionableness and that it is a safe choice, it also reveals that this style, which was created and popularized by Gabrielle Chanel, actually demands a high degree of refinement from those who wear it. In harmony with the matter-of-fact tone of the brand’s name, which simply means “clothing” in French, the fashion house takes an interest in real, everyday attire of common people, presenting everyday items such as hooded parkas as fashionable clothing. The influence from Gvasalia’s time learning under Martin Margiela can be seen in this methodology, which is reminiscent of the contemporary art technique known as appropriation. Realizing that even these designers felt compelled to address the Chanel Suit when communicating the reality of fashion on the street reminds us of the significance and impact of the style that Chanel created.
