Chanel Black Blue Strapless Mini Dress Runway, 2013
Always keeping it modern, the Chanel 2013 collection played off of a graphic, geometric aesthetic. Highlighting the simplicity of dots, grids, and gingham, the collection reimagined the mundane and recreated them absolutely à la Chanel. A black and royal blue pique grid forms this modern, strapless mini-dress. Bordered at the top with a ribbed black trim, this dress has a somewhat quilted texture.
With a slightly raised waist, this dress produces a hip accentuating hourglass silhouette. Just above the knee, the rich blue and black transitions into a black mesh caged border that creates a sense of lightness to the otherwise bold tones of the minidress. Near the hem, a Chanel plaque is stitched as a finishing detail. An excellent cocktail option, this dress can be seen as look #35 from that season’s runway.
