Black Silk Layered Maxi Skirt

A fluid black silk layered maxi skirt from Chanel, dated to Fall 2002, designed in the long, sweeping silhouette that dominated the season’s runway—romantic, elongated, and built from light, floating panels that echoed the collection’s soft-movement themes. Under Karl Lagerfeld, Fall 2002 balanced house classicism with modern ease: floor-dusting hems, diaphanous layers, and a kind of pared-back femininity that felt grown, elegant, and quietly commanding. This skirt follows that DNA with overlapping silk panels that shift with the body, creating a gentle vertical flow and a subtle transparency play that reads both delicate and architectural. Effortless to style and unmistakably Chanel in its restraint and movement.
