1962 Givenchy Haute Couture Black Angora Wool Skirt Suit

About the Item

This documented Autumn / Winter 1962-1963 Hubert de Givenchy haute couture two-piece skirt suit is crafted from a luxurious black angora wool which has a highly textured, fluffy feel. The jacket is collarless. It is tailored to a boxy silhouette with a slight nipped-in waist. The off-centre fastening at the front is secured with four striking and chunky buttons which are adorned all over with spirals of high-shine black chain. The skirt is cut to a pencil shape. It fastens on the left hip with a hidden tonal black zip and hidden large hook-and-eye skirt clasp. The waistband has a small section of black silk sitting at the front centre. It's possible the waist band was enlarged by removing the front skirt pleat and we have attached a picture of a near identical Givenchy suit worn by Audrey Hepburn's for the film "Paris when it sizzles" which was shot in the summer of 1962 and released in 1964. We have also referenced a 1962 editorial of a similar black Givenchy haute couture suit. Both the skirt and jacket are lined in crisp matte black silk. The original label reads “Givenchy Paris” alongside “Made in France”. Both the jacket and skirt are in excellent vintage condition with no issues and they are robust and wearable. Previous evidence of wear is very minimal and the suit displays beautifully. Due to being couture made, it has no size or composition label so please check our below measurements carefully. The fabric has no stretch. Our view on sizing is that this would work for a UK 10 or US 6 and could be worn by a size smaller or bigger depending on individual measurements. MEASUREMENTS JACKET BUST - 40 in. (102 cm) WAIST - 36 in. (91 cm) LENGTH - 21 in. (53 cm) SHOULDERS - 18 in. (46 cm) MEASUREMENTS SKIRT WAIST - 28 in. (71 cm) HIP - 40 in. (102 cm) LENGTH - 26 in.
