What was Kylie Jenner trying to tell us when she wore an anklet on the front row at the Chanel show? Nostalgia or a rewriting the rules?
Can anklets survive in an age of minimalism?
Kylie Jenner redefined “elegance”, at the 2025 Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week with a Chanel classic suit and a gold anklet. In an age where minimalism is the norm her choice is a visual feast and a dialogue between nostalgia and modernity.
- The Chanel gold anklet that Kylie chose is inspired by the “Flapper Style”, but has been given a youthful edge through modern materials, and wearing methods.
In just 48 hours following the end of fashion week, Kylie’s look on Instagram received more than 2,5 million interactions.
Kylie’s anklet is a reminder that nostalgia doesn’t have to compromise. Kylie’s style reflects Generation Z’s desire for “identity shaping” in an age of overflowing icons.
Kylie, who sat in the front row at Chanel’s show wore an anklet as a way to challenge the stereotype that “elegance is only formal”.
- Her stylist revealed that it took 3 months to design this look, and that the anklet was changed 12 times just to find a balance between “power and softness”.
“When nostalgia meets contemporary fashion, who says that fashion cannot be a revolution in time?”
