2000 Emanuel Ungaro Runway Multi-Coloured Fantasy Boucle Jacket
products.product.pickup_availability.unavailable
This beautifully woven jacket walked the runway in Emanuel Ungaro’s Autumn/Winter 2000 ready-to-wear collection, as look 31 of 63. Ungaro founded his Paris couture house in 1965 after training under Cristóbal Balenciaga and working with André Courrèges. By 2000, his flair for combining colour and pattern was a house signature, and that season he gave it a rock-and-roll edge. The show opened to Billy Idol’s ‘Rebel Yell’, and the knits recalled the slouchy cover-ups beloved by grunge-era music fans.
Tailored from a fantasy bouclé, the jacket is remarkable up close. Every hue of the rainbow is present, delicately loop-stitched over chunky horizontal stripes of red, black and slate blue. It has a relaxed, straight-cut fit and two external patch pockets. The decadent violet faux-fur lining gives it a luxurious, cosy feel, and it fastens down the front with discreet black hook-and-eye clasps.
The jacket is in excellent vintage condition with no issues of any note. There are no size or composition labels, and the fabric has no stretch. We estimate a good fit for sizes up to a UK 10–12 or US 6. Please check the measurements below.

What is archival fashion?
Archival fashion refers to historically significant designer garments preserved for their cultural, aesthetic, or technical importance. At Circa, archival fashion includes couture archive pieces, runway garments, early designer work, and museum-quality vintage that document the evolution of fashion history.
How is archival fashion different from vintage?
While vintage typically describes clothing over 20 years old, archival vintage is selected for its rarity, provenance, and relevance to a designer’s archive or fashion history. Circa specialises in archival pieces rather than general vintage.
