These dramatic sheer black pants from Chanel’s Cruise 2014/15 “Dubai” collection reinterpret the silhouette of a skirt through layers of gathered ruffles. Designed with an elastic waistband and drawstring tie, the voluminous style is finished with cinched elastic at the ankles—creating a sculptural yet fluid shape that moves with ease.

Seen as Look 70 on the runway and in the collection of Soo Joo Park, the pants capture the ethereal elegance that defined Karl Lagerfeld’s vision for the Dubai show. Though Soo Joo walked in a different look for the show, this piece remained a standout in her personal archive—chosen for its unconventional beauty and layered construction that blurs the lines between skirt and pant.
