**A Sculptural Masterpiece of Y2K French Avant-Garde**

**The Archive Find:**
An extraordinary, highly sought after piece from the iconic French label Cop Copine. This deadstock "Helens" Gilet is a masterclass in experimental 2000s tailoring, brilliantly blending a sharp, fitted bodice with a dramatic, long draped tailcoat-inspired back. A pristine time capsule of the Y2K era, representing the brand's prime years of subversive, architectural silhouettes.

**Design Details:**
* **The Silhouette:** Features an "Extreme High-Low" tailcoat fit with a racer-back style top construction and an elongated, intricately pleated rear hem. It includes an adjustable buckle strap at the back waist to cinch the silhouette.
* **Fabric:** Crafted from a high-quality, fluid blend (62% polyester, 32% viscose, 6% elastane). The generous 6% elastane offers a luxurious drape with substantial stretch, ensuring a precision "body-con" fit while maintaining its sculptural shape.
* **Curator's Styling Note:** The dramatic 78 cm draped back is your ultimate statement. Layer this gilet over a micro mini skirt or sleek flared trousers to maximize its visual impact.

A Note on Archival Fashion
Please keep in mind that these rare pieces have lived a past life. Minimal signs of wear or a natural patina are entirely normal and part of their unique history.
Care & Condition
I treat every garment with the utmost respect. Each piece is carefully hand-washed, steamed, or ozone-treated so it reaches you in beautiful, ready-to-wear condition. However, due to the age and nature of vintage textiles, a very faint vintage scent may occasionally linger.
Sizing & Fit
To showcase the intended drape and silhouette in our editorial photos, garments that are larger than the model may be subtly pinned. Please never rely on the photos alone for sizing; always use the detailed flat-lay measurements provided in the description to ensure a perfect fit.
Color Accuracy
We strive to capture the true essence of each garment, though slight color variations may occur depending on the lighting and your screen's calibration.
Boutique Policies
To ensure absolute fairness for all of our collectors, we operate strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. We do not accept reservations or higher bids on items that have already been sold. Additionally, as our prices reflect the rarity, authentication, and extensive restoration of each piece, they are strictly non-negotiable. Please take the time to review all measurements and details carefully before securing your piece.
