1970s Givenchy Orange Suede Jacket

spotlight Any art student, any catalog editor - anyone who has shopped J. Crew online knows that for every primary color on the wheel, there are a hundred variations of that shade that merit their own creative descriptions. Green is not just green - green is kelly. Emerald. Grass. Granny Smith apple. Celadon. Pink has its own library of names and orange is grandma to dozens and dozens of sunny incarnations. You've got tangerine, flame, apricot, pumpkin, copper and in Givenchy's world - blood orange. A deep reddish (but not red at all) hue that is as juicy and sweet and Bonnie Cashin's fruity suedes and leather, this one cut to follow a woman's curves. Internal gathered waist and placket that closes with a row of blood orange buttons, it also buttons at each wrist. Designed for the Nouvelle Boutique label, it is lined in orange satin and has vertical pockets that button shut at either side of the waist.
