First seen on the Spring 1994 Chanel runway under Karl Lagerfeld, these logo suspenders turned a functional menswear staple into pure fashion shorthand. Rendered in black leather with elastic fabric straps stamped in crisp white “CHANEL” lettering, the piece is finished with 24k gold-plated hardware that reads like jewelry rather than fastening. The collection itself was famously photographed by Steven Meisel for Vogue’s March 1994 issue, cementing the season’s supermodel-era polish and giving these suspenders their editorial pedigree.

They’re a runway accessory that became a cultural artifact: instantly recognizable, endlessly styleable, and repeatedly revived by celebrities across decades. Worn over tailoring, tees, or bare skin, they deliver that very specific early-’90s Chanel attitude: bold branding with clean execution, before “logomania” became a marketing strategy and long before “quiet luxury” tried to pretend logos never mattered.
