1970s Jeff Banks Black Yellow Geometric Floral Sheer Chiffon Shirt
About the Item
This bold, floral patterned blouse was designed by celebrated British designer Jeff Banks during the 1970s. It is tailored from sheer black chiffon printed with fuchsia and violet flowers and yellow geometric shapes. The chiffon is subtly plissé pleated which adds texture and movement. The shirt is long sleeved with a dramatic elongated curved collar sometimes known as a 'dog ear collar'. Pretty mother-of-pearl buttons decorate the front fastening in pairs, and three secure each cuff. The slim sleeves are cut to an extra-long length which creates a blouson bell-sleeve shape when worn. This shirt is unlined. The original label reads “Jeff Banks London W1 Made in England”.
This piece is in truly excellent vintage condition and looks barely worn - it still has a spare button sewn inside. We have had many Jeff Banks designs in Circa's collection over the years and this is the best of its type we have seen. An identical 1970s Jeff Banks shirt with a different floral print and colourway was worn by Lady Gaga in the 2018 film A Star is Born. Probably rayon, it is labelled a vintage UK size 12; however, the blouse is small in comparison to modern sizing so please check our measurements below. We believe it would best fit a UK 8-10 or US 4-6.
Notes on Designer: Jeff Banks was a pivotal member of the swinging 60s London fashion scene when he cofounded 'Clobber' in Blackheath Village, London, in 1964. The boutique carried both his own designs and the work of other designers and attracted celebrities such as Terence Stamp and Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy and some of the Beatles. It proved such a success that in 1969, he launched his own fashion label, opening the first standalone Jeff Banks shop, as well as retail outlets in twenty-two department stores including Harrods and Harvey Nichols.
