"A Head-Turning Electrifying Jacket" if there ever was one! Karl Lagerfeld's gorgeous Autumn Winter 1996 Collection was dubbed "The Golden Army" only this was "an army of beauties" said the designer. According to Lagerfeld, the military style tailoring was intended to be married with the opulence of gold, luminous Gripoix touches and sublime tailoring. The classic CHANEL jacket is transformed into a JEWELED FANTASY in Electric Cobalt Blue and totally bejeweled with ruby and emerald poured glass cabochons.
