DESCRIPTION
Givenchy Body Gleamers pantyhose, Style 157, in the shade Blue Dahlia, from the late 1980s or 1990s. Body Gleamers was Givenchy's sheen-finish hosiery line.

Hubert de Givenchy opened his Paris house in 1952. The house was acquired by LVMH in 1988, and the founder retired in 1995, so hosiery of this period belongs to the final years of his direction.

The packaging identifies the line, style number and shade: Body Gleamers, Style 157, Blue Dahlia. Size C. Never worn, in the original sealed packaging.

The Object and Its Moment
Body Gleamers

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.

The Fashion Landscape
Givenchy before 1995

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.

The Wider Culture
Licensed Luxury

Paris houses extended their names through licensed accessories. Hosiery brought a couture signature within reach of a much wider public.

Reading the Object
Style and Shade

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.

Why It Matters Now
