Givenchy Kleider

Givenchy dresses remain inseparable from Audrey Hepburn and the couture little black dress Hubert de Givenchy designed for her in Sabrina (1954) and Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). Seventy years on, the house keeps producing sculpted cocktails, draped evening dresses and couture pieces that gradually surface on the resale market. JoliCloset stocks nearly 70 authenticated pre-owned Givenchy dresses, from $130.

The key cuts

The little black dress remains the DNA silhouette — short sleeves, boat neckline, knee length. Evening dresses from Tisci (2005-2017) explore black Chantilly lace transparency, single-shoulder draping and graphic prints (Madonna, Bambi). Clare Waight Keller re-injected couture romance between 2017 and 2020, including Meghan Markle's wedding dress. For day, the line offers shirt dresses, crepe sheaths and jersey styles. To complete the silhouette, Givenchy heels and clutches round out the look.

Materials and finishes

Italian wool crepe dominates on sheaths, duchess satin on evening pieces, and Chantilly lace and guipure on Tisci couture. Jersey dresses carry the 4G or Givenchy Paris label inside. On vintage pieces, check invisible seams, Riri zippers and silk linings.

Prices on the resale market

A Givenchy jersey dress trades between $170 and $400, a crepe sheath between $330 and $800, and Tisci or Waight Keller couture evening dresses reach $1,100 to $2,200 in pristine condition — pieces that retailed over $4,500.
