Dearest glamorous darlings,

Welcome back to the Fashion Boudoir, where we slip through the seams of history to uncover the silhouettes that shaped our world. Today, we turn our gaze to a revolution not of glittering soirées or dazzling evening gowns—but of daylight, movement, and reinvention. Often overshadowed by the sparkle of the flapper's fringe, the true sartorial upheaval of the 1920s happened in women’s daywear. Until then, what a woman wore between breakfast and cocktail hour had more to do with social status than with style—or comfort. But as the corset was cast aside and women stepped out into a new world of independence, a new need emerged: clothing that moved with them, rather than against them. And into that moment stepped Mademoiselle Chanel, who saw in jersey and tweed not just practicality, but possibility. Her vision? Daywear that was chic, comfortable, and liberating. A revolution in wool, darling—and the beginning of the iconic Chanel jacket.

Elegantly yours,

Carla Moulin
