This is an ICONIC piece of CHANEL fashion history and no true collection is complete without it. The sensational runway gilt Fig leaf belt / necklace was front and center at Spring Summer 1992 Show in Paris. Every supermodel sashayed through the show wearing this provocative work of art. Claudia Schiffer was featured wearing this sublime belt in the ad campaign of the season shot by Karl Lagerfeld. Like a Chanel-draped, modern-day Eve, the sensual fig leaf evokes pure seduction.
Four draping layers of CHANEL gilt and leather laced chain frame an enormous realistically-detailed fig leaf. A second massive golden dangling leaf charm is the grande-finale to this over-the-top jewel.
