1998 Runway Jacques Fath Black Silk Lacework Jacket

About the Item
This documented Jacques Fath black cocktail jacket is from the Fall/Winter Ready-to-Wear Collection of 1998. It has wide pointed lapels and is cut from a thick woven black faille silk, with horizontal lace and ribbon panels. The shoulders, mid section and hem are all made up of a fine baroque style lace, joined to the jacket with a lovely ribbon seam which helps to create contrast and texture. The jacket closes with three concealed popper fastenings on the underside, with the front adorned with a beautiful black gem set floral brooch mount. The jacket is lined and has turn back pointed cuffs at the end of each sleeve for a more structured feel. The piece is in wonderful condition, with no noticeable flaws or marks. It would best fit a size 10-12 UK, or 6-8 US.
Notes on Designer:
Jacques Fath was a French fashion designer who was considered one of the three dominant influences on postwar haute couture, the others being Christian Dior and Pierre Balmain. A self-taught designer who learned his craft from studying museum exhibitions and books about fashion, Fath hired a number of young designers as assistants and apprentices, some of which later went on to form their own houses, including Hubert de Givenchy, Guy Laroche, and Valentino Garavani. His clients included Ava Gardner, Greta Garbo, and Rita Hayworth, who wore a Fath dress for her wedding to Prince Aly Khan.

- Vintage Givenchy Couture Magenta Silk Chevron Sleeveless Ruffle Bow DressBy GivenchyLocated in Boca Raton, FLBest known for his high-end, feminine silhouettes, French haute couture designer Hubert de Givenchy rose to international acclaim during the 1960s by creating signature looks for actress Audrey Hepburn. Maintaining a classic romantic elegance to his designs, Givenchy began experimenting with bolder colors and pattern options around the 1980s. Done in a vibrant magenta silk organza, this couture dress was custom made at the Givenchy atelier in Paris. The dress features an incredible cascade of ruffles at each shoulder and a subtle chevron pattern done in alternating rows of smooth silk and basket woven silk. The woven silk provides contrast and texture while the chevron pattern itself creates a pleasing rhythm throughout. The bodice begins with a flattering bateau neckline framed by short sleeves comprised of layers of wide, undulating ruffles. The ruffles are adorned at each shoulder with a large knotted bow for extra flair and femininity that flows seamlessly with the rest of the fabric. The bows are set slightly behind the high front ruffle on each shoulder, making them easy to miss at first glance, but delightful when seen from the side profile or back of the dress. The basket woven silk provides a sheer element to the ruffles that is further enhanced by the lower cut bodice at the back of the dress. Size estimate: Small/Medium Bust: 32 inches Waist: 30 inches Hips: 37 inches Length: 55 inches The bodice is finished with princess seams that reach from the bust to hip, complimenting the subtle A-line silhouette of this dress. The skirt falls to a maxi-length just above the ankles in a straight hem that is semi-formal and perfect for showcasing a beautiful pair of heels. Sophisticated and feminine, this dress is the perfect choice for a summer wedding, gala, or special occasion. This custom-couture Givenchy...Category
