Behind the design

This ivory silk blouse from the 1960s combines a broad collar, short opening and low patch pockets. The museum names Hubert de Givenchy as designer and identifies the secondary line as Givenchy Boutique. Its long, straight form offers a useful comparison with the more fitted and embellished evening dress shown alongside it.
