If the early 2000s had a golden moment for Chanel, it was the Spring/Summer 2005 collection. With the Riviera as muse, Karl Lagerfeld reimagined the Chanel woman with a light, sensual touch — delivering one of the most collectible and visually striking seasons of the decade.
At STYLE-CHNGR, we’re proud to offer the original Chanel Spring/Summer 2005 catalogue — a coveted fashion archive piece that captures this unforgettable moment in runway history.
The Story Behind the Collection
Unveiled in Paris, this collection marked a shift in Chanel’s seasonal tone. Lagerfeld softened the house codes, exchanging stiff tailoring for flowing silhouettes, sheer fabrics, and nautical romance. Inspired by the freedom and glow of the French Riviera, this season fused luxury with lightness.
Think:
Wide-leg white trousers
Striped knit tops à la Brigitte Bardot
Bejeweled swimsuits
Oversized pearls
Sheer tunics floating with every step
The models — Daria Werbowy, Gemma Ward, and Lily Donaldson — brought an ethereal energy to the runway. Barely-there makeup and soft waves completed the dreamlike effect.
A Collector’s Favourite
The Chanel Spring/Summer 2005 catalogue is more than a fashion lookbook — it’s a curated journey into Lagerfeld’s mind at the peak of his Chanel reinvention. Each page feels editorial, cinematic, and timeless.
Collectors and stylists love this piece for its references to both classic French glamour and early 2000s style codes that are back in full swing today: low-waisted silhouettes, sheer layering, and playful pearls.
