Unlabeled Givenchy Haute Couture Copper Floral Silk Evening Coat Vintage
About the Item
Of all the textile designers of the twentieth century, few had as impressive a roster of clients as Gustav Zumsteg for Abraham of Switzerland. Cristobal Balenciaga, Hubert de Givenchy and Yves Saint Laurent all turned to him for his luxurious fabrics that would make their creations come to life. While the designer of this haute couture evening coat is unknown, it is likely he or she also sourced from Abraham of Switzerland. The silk faille from which it is impeccably handcrafted is magnificent, with a shimmering copper background out of which swirl delicious blooms of orange, magenta, purple and yellow. The roomy silhouette with its Watteau pleat at the back, open collar and leg-o’-mutton sleeves enhances the beauty of the gorgeous pattern. This is a collector’s treasure. Although the designer label has fallen out of the coat, it is still numbered and boasts all fine details you would expect of a museum-worthy piece.

- J. Mendel Chartreuse Green Fur & Leather CoatBy J MendelLocated in Boca Raton, FLGilles Mendel apprenticed with his father in their family’s famous Paris atelier before stepping into the role of creative director in 1981. Known for their luxury furs, Gilles expanded J. Mendel with the launch of his first ready-to-wear collection in 2002, and has since evolved the house to include a bridal line, accessories, and home decor. Gilles was awarded the prestigious CFDA award in 2003, and his designs have been worn by royalty and hollywood stars including the likes of Nicole Kidman and Olivia Munn. This J.
