A sheer leg with a gleam, in a shade named Blue Dahlia. Givenchy hosiery from the last years of Hubert de Givenchy's direction.
These Givenchy pantyhose, Style 157 in Blue Dahlia, date from the late 1980s or 1990s and belong to the Body Gleamers line, known for its sheen finish.
Couture name, sheer leg, a named colour.
Hubert de Givenchy opened his house in Paris in 1952. LVMH acquired it in 1988, and he retired in 1995, closing the founder's era.
Paris houses extended their names through licensed accessories. Hosiery brought a couture signature within reach of a much wider public.
The packaging records the line, the style number and the shade. Body Gleamers describes the finish: sheer, with a light-reflecting gleam.
A precise record of line, style and shade.
Original Givenchy hosiery serves collectors of the house and stylists and costume departments working on the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Hosiery from the Paris houses draws interest from collectors of licensed goods and from stylists.
Pantyhose were made to be worn and replaced, so original period examples are fewer.
Coloured and sheen-finish legwear recurs as a reference to late 1980s and early 1990s dressing.
