BY ARCHANA AITHAL ROSE

Dark Red and White Jacket
A graphic take on the maison’s enduring tweed tradition, amped up with signature polish, this jacket is rendered in a textured dark red-and-white wool-blend weave, its hip-skimming silhouette framed by a clean round neckline and long sleeves. Statement buttons with Chanel’s iconic, interlocked C march down the front, while structured pocket details lend a quietly tailored finish. $5,950

Silk Camelia and White Pants
A silk trouser with a decidedly romantic streak, this ultra-fluid pair is finished with a signature Chanel motif running down the outer sides of each leg. The high-rise waist and elongated, wide-leg silhouette keep the effect languid and polished, while the graphic side detailing lend a modern edge. $4,650

Cashmere and Wool Cardigan
Knitwear takes a graphic turn this season: peep this geometric cashmere-and-wool riff on the classic Chanel cardigan, interweaving black, red, and multicolor patterning into a polished silhouette. Contrasting trim and statement buttons bring attitude, while neat proportions keep everything decidedly refined. $5,250

Suede Calfskin Patchwork Flap Bag
Suede gives the marquee’s classic flap bag an altogether richer dimension, with panels of calfskin patchworked in contrasting fall-coded shades and textures. The softly structured silhouette is finished with gleaming gold-tone hardware and a chain strap, bringing a graphic, tactile edge to a timeless silhouette. $7,100

Calfskin Red High Boots
In a flash of lacquer red, these calfskin knee-high boots bring a jolt of color to polished daywear. They rise to the knee on a sleek, streamlined shaft and sit atop a modest 2.8-inch heel, punctuated by an interlocking CC in gold at the top, a signature flourish that delivers just the right dose of glamour. $2,475

Fire Red Lambskin Blouse
A change in creative direction means recasting the classic blouse in supple fire-red lambskin, its sleek, contoured cut lending the leather a sensual, liquid quality. Traffic-stopping color transforms an everyday wardrobe staple into something decidedly more alluring. $9,900

Mixed Fibers Midi Skirt
The Oxford-blue midi skirt brings a note of polished nonchalance to the season’s silhouette play, sitting high on the waist before falling into a fluid, softly flared shape. Pair with a fine-knit sweater for a look that feels quietly opulent, never overworked. $5,250
