Vintage 1970s Biba of London Blue Chevron Wool & Faux-Fur Belted Jacket w/ Skirt

About the Item

If you were an "It Girl" in London during the 1960's and 1970's, Biba is where you would have shopped. This super rare and ultra timeless royal-blue jacket ensemble, dating back to her 1973 fall-winter collection, is a perfect example of the brand's genius. It is fashioned from a fantastic fully-lined chevron patterned wool with all the classic hallmarks of Biba's best- skinny lean sleeves, hidden button closures and a dramatic deco waist belt. The jacket even has chic black faux-fur trimming that resembles Persian lamb. The silhouette really channels that late 1930's femme-fatale look Biba's founder, Barbara Hulanicki, loved so much. We added many pictures so you can appreciate this iconic ensemble. Measurements Jacket Bust: 34-36 inches Waist: 30 inches (belt used to make smaller) Sleeve Length:22 inches Total Length: 26 inches Skirt High Waist: 26 inches Hips: 38 inches Total Length: 27 inches This designer Biba jacket/skirt ensemble is in excellent condition with no rips, stains or holes. Both pieces are fully-lined. An early Biba set that is extremely collectible and infinitely wearable.

    By Givenchy
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Givenchy, the name itself evokes glamour, refined elegance, simplicity and style. Givenchy's trademark of sculpted lines and luxurious fabrics make his work easily recognizable. This bold jumpsuit ensemble, dating back to their 1991 haute couture collection, is a beautiful example of his brilliance. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; luxurious emerald-green and magenta-pink lined silk satin. I adore the boned strapless bodice with over-sized cummerbund belt.

    By Geoffrey Beene
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    An incredibly chic and hard-to-find Geoffrey Beene cherry print silk crepe jumpsuit dating back to the early 1990's. Geoffrey Beene's body-contoured designs were marvels of cut and proportion. There is an exhibition of his work currently running this year at the Phoenix Art Museum titled "MOVE: The Modern Cut of Geoffrey Beene". Through the exhibition it is explained, "Beene was a fashion rebel who ignored trends, instead preferring to design garments that began as geometric shapes and evolved into silhouettes that moved naturally with the human form." With this jumpsuit, Geoffrey Beene explores strategies of suggestion and concealing the body through the use of pattern placement. He chooses an absolutely gorgeous large scale cherry print mixed with ivory in the same silk crepe fabric. By manipulating color. he created what looks to be a strapless bikini...
