Vintage Givenchy Nouvelle Boutique Paris Red Sequin & Black Velvet Jacket — Made in France
An extraordinary vintage designer statement jacket from the legendary French fashion house of Givenchy.
This spectacular vintage Givenchy Nouvelle Boutique Paris jacket is a striking example of French designer glamour, combining brilliant red sequins, luxurious-looking black velvet detailing, and a beautifully tailored, elongated silhouette.
With its dramatic color combination, fitted construction, and distinctive finishing details, this is anything but an ordinary vintage jacket. It is an exceptional statement piece with timeless theatrical elegance and sophisticated eveningwear appeal.
The exterior features dazzling red sequins beautifully contrasted by a rich black velvet collar and coordinating velvet detailing. The fitted sleeves feature small zippers at the velvet wrists, allowing for a closer, more tailored silhouette.
An interior ribbon-style waist belt provides an additional adjustable fitting detail, reflecting the thoughtful construction of this unusual garment.
The jacket is fully lined in a beautiful red, taffeta-like fabric with a crisp, slightly papery texture and subtle sheen. The exact fiber composition has not been verified.
Oversized decorative buttons, measuring approximately 1¼ inches in diameter, provide an additional distinctive design element. The jacket actually fastens with concealed interior snaps, so the exterior buttons are ornamental rather than functional closures.
The overall silhouette is small, fitted, and dramatically elongated, creating a striking designer look.
