Chanel 1988 Runway Necklace
7389
A Chanel 1988 runway gilt and pearl long necklace. Runway pieces, designed for use at fashion shows, were produced in limited numbers for select clients.
Chanel runway jewellery embodies bold elegance and theatrical craftsmanship. Often oversized and layered, the pieces transform classic symbols into striking statements under the lights. Pearls-an enduring house code inspired by founder Coco Chanel-are reimagined in exaggerated strands, mixed with chains, crystals, and gilded motifs. Camellias, interlocking Cs, and Byzantine crosses frequently appear, blending heritage with modern edge.
On the runway, jewellery is not merely an accessory but a central styling force, framing tweed suits, fluid gowns, and contemporary silhouettes. Each collection experiments with proportion and texture, balancing opulence with Parisian restraint while reinforcing Chanel's unmistakable identity of timeless sophistication and daring reinvention.
