For Givenchy’s FW 1998 collection, McQueen drew aesthetic and design inspiration from Bladerunner (1982). The sharp but not overly exaggerated shoulders are reminiscent of original Gilbert Adrian’s designs from the 40s -which inspired the futuristic-noir film.

These jackets and coats were produced in a few different iterations. This specific silhouette design was seen on the runway worn as a long jacket / coat and as a dress. It comes in a grey wool with a synthetic blend that creates a shimmering-pinstripe effect. The buttons are Givenchy’s couture emblem design as seen on select runway looks from this season.
