* Karl Largerfeld was appointed as head designer (1983) of Chanel and he sought consciously to evoke the style and quality of Chanel's iconic costume jewelry designs, while giving them a modern aesthetic. In 1984, Karl appointed Victoire de Castallane to head up jewellery design, and she produced most of the famous Chanel pieces that are so collectable and continue to inspire today.
