More than just a piece of clothing. Andre Tan showed a piece that will never go out of style

Ukrainian fashion designer Andre Tan has named a piece of clothing that a complete women's wardrobe cannot exist without. The jacket, namely in the interpretation created by the famous designer Coco Chanel, will always be relevant and, according to Karl Lagerfeld (French fashion designer), will never go out of style.

The creator of the little black dress came up with the idea to combine tweed fabric with a classic jacket and created a wonderful mitch that hasn't lost its position in fashion for more than a century. Andre Tan told us more about the story behind the idea on Instagram.

"As Karl Lagerfeld used to say, there are things that never go out of style. These are jeans, a white shirt and a Chanel jacket. A Chanel jacket is much more than just a piece of clothing. It is a kind of signature of a woman's desire for uniqueness. The history of this iconic item dates back to the 20s of the last century," said the fashion designer.

He explained that the idea to create a tweed jacket was born out of a desire to abandon the uncomfortable clothes of those times and feel more relaxed. That is why Coco Chanel borrowed clothes from her lover and broke all fashion stereotypes by her own example.

"Gabrielle Chanel sought to free women from the fashion norms of the time, including corsets, which caused a lot of discomfort to women. Coco drew inspiration from the wardrobe of her beloved Duke of Britain. It is said that Gabrielle often borrowed his clothes, which gave her a feeling of lightness and comfort," continued Andre Tan.

He added that this is how Coco Chanel drew attention to tweed fabric, which was used to make men's jackets at the time, and decided to make it the highlight of her brand. "She fell in love with the textured fabric, which at the time was used only for men's clothing. Later Gabrielle made tweed the hallmark of her fashion house. Today, Chanel is not just clothes, it is a symbol of elegance, freedom and femininity. It remains one of the most coveted wardrobe items for women around the world. And even when it costs more than 10 thousand euros for one jacket," the designer said.
