Rare Chloé three piece set from the spring summer 1996 collection by Karl Lagerfeld in soft sage green, a silk blouse, flared silk skirt and tailored jacket cut (cut similar to what was seen on runway) in one tonal shade.

The jacket is woven in a textured silk and wool, flecked with a slightly paler thread that gives the green a dry, matte grain. It has wide notched lapels, curved princess seams through the front and five rounded matte pewter buttons embossed with a small relief motif. Curved pockets sit low on the hips, and the fit is nipped at the waist and kept short. The sleeveless blouse is in a fluid silk crepe with a V neckline and a chevron seam across the front. The skirt is cut in the same crepe, fitted at the hip with a contoured yoke and falling into a full, softly flared hem to the knee.

Wear all three for a quiet, monochrome suit, or separate them: the jacket over denim, the blouse under tailoring, the skirt with a plain knit. This is Chloé’s 1990s ready to wear, when the house was known for soft, feminine tailoring and fluid silks, and the complete matching set is harder to find than the separates.

Please note some discoloration throughout.
