CHANEL Spring/ Summer 1995 "Barbie" Runway Belt by Karl Lagerfeld - Documented on the Runway & Featured in the Iconic Chanel Collector Book

One of the most recognizable belts from Karl Lagerfeld’s legendary Spring/Supprr 1995 Chanel Runway. 

An exceptional and highly sought-after Chanel Spring/Summer 1995 runway belt, designed by Karl Lagerfeld for one of the House's most celebrated collections-often affectionately referred to by collectors as the "Barbie" collection for its iconic black-and-white palette and playful yet sophisticated femininity.

This striking belt features a bold matte brushed gold-tone square buckle engraved "CHANEL", paired with a timeless black and white leather strap that perfectly captures the spirit of the collection. Its minimalist architectural design has become one of the defining accessories of the Spring/Summer 1995 runway.

Documented multiple times throughout the original runway presentation, this exact belt was worn by several of the era's most legendary supermodels, including Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista and Helena Christensen, and is also prominently featured in the highly collectible Chanel runway collector book, making it a fully documented archive piece.

Today, authentic examples remain remarkably difficult to source, especially in such well-preserved condition.
