Rare Spring 2000 Givenchy by Alexander McQueen Runway Look 12 Jumpsuit w Drawstring Cuffs

  • The twin of this jumpsuit walked the runway for the Spring 2000 Givenchy show. 
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alexander McQueen 
  • This is a very rare piece as are all of the pieces that he created while at Givenchy.
  • Vogue noted that "Most of the collection was made up of tracksuits with high heels" and variations of the distinctive legs used on this jumpsuit were used through out the show. This jumpsuit and some variations of it was shown in several colours making it a key look of the collection. 
  • The jumpsuit is made from a black fabric that has an almost utilitarian look to it. Somewhat like a light weight canvas in a way but without being a canvas. It is still light enough that it falls fantastically over the body. 
  • This is a piece that shows his strong tailoring background and detailed knowledge of how to cut a piece to best suit a woman's body.
  • The shoulders are lightly padded and the sleeve extend out straight to their ends.
  • The collar is a nod to a men's suit with a notch above a graceful curve that falls to just above the waist.
  • I love the plunge of the front and how it can be adjusted to sit as high or low as you dare. A zipper runs up the centre front and you can zip it higher or lower. 
  • The waist is brought in through the seams at the sides with no horizontal line to break the eye. You could cinch it in even further by adding a belt either at the waist or at the hip like they did on the runway. 
  • It glides over the hips with a band in the same fabric that sits just on top of the hip for detail and shape.  
  • Each pant leg is cut long with a drawstring cuff at its end.This allows you to wear them with a more straight cut or it creates a more harem effect if you bring the drawstring in.
  • Pockets on each hip are the perfect finishing detail and are a clever way to add to the jumpsuits shape. I love that it has these slant pockets on each side of the hip to slip your hands into.
  • It is a phenomenal McQueen for Givenchy piece and highly collectible.
  • The jumpsuit is fully lined in a black silk with ribbon finished edges. It closes with the zipper at the front. Light padding in each shoulder. What appears to be hand done top stitching on the collar. Drawstring with push metal clasps at each cuff. It will fit with a slightly more oversized, cut on a smaller frame.
