EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases four exquisite ensembles designed by two of the most influential fashion houses of the 1960s: Balenciaga and Givenchy. On the left, a wool coat designed by Balenciaga in 1961 boasts large black overcheck that reverses to black. The coat is worn over a sleeveless black wool dress, featuring rounded raglan shoulders, a nine-tenths hemline, and a square flat look, all hallmarks of the Balenciaga collection. Next to it, a gleaming gold brocade dress and jacket by Balenciaga shimmer in the spotlight. The sleeveless dress is tie-belted with gold kid, while the jacket is adorned with layers of black silk and tulle, creating a high hat. Moving on to the third ensemble, a short evening dress by Givenchy in fine black silk crepe is displayed. The high-waisted front fullness is caught with a brilliant jewel, while the back falls into a low cowl. A hat made of massed black veiling and black satin ribbon completes the look. Lastly, a dress and jacket in brown and black silk cloque by Givenchy are depicted. The fitted bodice of the dress is worn over a gently gathered skirt, and the matching circular jacket is black-mink trimmed. A large black velvet hat tops off this elegant and chic outfit. These timeless designs by Balenciaga and Givenchy exemplify the sophistication and style of the 1960s, showcasing the innovation and creativity that defined the era. The illustration serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of these iconic fashion houses on the world of haute couture.
