Museum Held 1975 Hubert de Givenchy Haute Couture One Shoulder Silk Dress w Matching Cape designer-maurice The only reason his work

The only reason his work is not under the Haute Couture category is because he was not an official member of the association

The net is hand gathered in beautiful draping that run across the bodice and shaped to highlight the bust

It is so soft and warm and cut to be over-sized and thrown on in that absolute rich jet -set casual kind of way

Note that there are three missing buttons - two on one cuff and one on the front

Museum Held 1975 Hubert de Givenchy Haute Couture One Shoulder Silk Dress w Matching Cape designer-maurice The only reason his workThe twin of this dress is held in the permanent archives of The Metropolitan Museum. It would not surprise me to find out that these were the only two samples of this dress in existence. True Haute Couture pieces were never produced in any significant quantities. The dress is as wearable now as it was when first made and feels very modern. It is entirely finished by hand and is from the time period when the house was run by Hubert de Givenchy himself.
