Vintage Givenchy Structured Cotton Jacket Late 1990s Black L

Paris, somewhere between the late 1990s and the dawn of the
new millennium—sharp tailoring meets a flash of gold at the Givenchy atelier,
as Alexander McQueen steers the house toward a leaner, more angular aesthetic. This
structured black jacket is cut from dense cotton with a subtle metallic sheen
woven into the fabric, its surface catching the light along the clean lines of
the shoulders and waist. The gold-tone buttons, each engraved with “GIVENCHY
PARIS’ and the 4G motif, anchor the front and cuffs with a precise, almost
architectural touch.
The edges are trimmed in tonal satin, extending to a black satin lining that slides
easily over layers. Inside, two interior slip pockets offer functionality without
compromising the silhouette. The jacket retains its structure firmly, showing only
minor wear along the edges—a trace of regular use, nothing to distract from
its sharp profile.
McQueen’s tenure at Givenchy (1996–2001) created a tension between the house’s
disciplined heritage and his own disruptive touch. The crisp tailoring of this
piece, paired with signature gold hardware, captures something of that moment: a
classic form, infused with new energy. The mannequin normally wears a size M.
