Vintage from the Fall 1996 Ready-to-wear Collection
100% Wool | Made in France
Tag size FR 36

A rare piece by John Galliano who designed just one fall ready-to-wear collection at Givenchy before moving to Dior. The bolero design derives from Spanish bullfighting influence which is almost humorous given the bow adornments -which are uniform in fabric with the rest of the jacket, adding a layer of refined intellectual femininity.

Actress Sydney Sweeney wore an ensemble including one of these bolero jackets for her Echo Valley film press.
