Givenchy
At Givenchy, 2009 fashion show a light breeze whipped away the billowing
black and white chiffon robes and Arabic headgear, revealing gilded,
jewelled armour and crowns, at the Givenchy haute couture collection
for autumn winter 2009 in Paris. Riccardo Tisci took his inspiration from medieval queens and the
robes of North Africa, updated with python, spike heeled shoe boots.

a geometrically striped black and white
jersey jacket over a graphic, lozenge fronted top and draped pants,
in fact almost every garment had an intensity of proportion and
detail that looked incredible:
the graphic jackets; tiny kilts; attenuated drop crotch harem pants;
cool, multilayered, modernized tutus; and draped, wrapped, and swathed
tulle dresses.
Riccardo Tisci one of the elite group of designers in
Givenchy's haute couture referencing of the
kaffiyeh scarf was pushed
into allover digital patterns in ways that almost took it into the realm
of zigzagging psychedelia. The prints covered blouses, jackets, kilts,
leggings, platform wedges, and bags. The silhouette, with its slightly
raised waistline, had the effect of making the models look even taller
and more impossibly leggy the drama enhanced by the high, wrapped, wedge
heel boots. For day, the bondagey footwear came in leather; at night, with
the goddess dresses, it was smothered in white tulle. The largely monochromatic
palette was punctuated with dramatic gowns and trouser suits in a flesh tone
silk crepe, emblazoned with red and green spikes, cones and studs. Folded peplums
and pannier effects on trousers and gowns echoed the old world nature of the silhouettes.
At 2008 Givenchy fashion show, when the leggings took over half leather chaps,
half jeans, or skintight black Lycra with white leaf appliqués flaming up the sides.
Yet fashion also needs the young and the brave to stir things up, something of the
lace and the frothy white shirts of that collection carried over into Spring, the
shirts perked up with gold bows and diamanté brooches.
Givenchy launched the Givenchy label and opened his own couture house in
Paris in 1952 as a line of simple, light separates and earning immediate
praise with his printed and embroidered fabrics and his inspirational use
of accessories. Givenchy haute couture collections were refreshing, invigorating,
he adapted traditional garments with the new necessities of the modern
traveling woman. Givenchy was the first designer to present an elegant
luxurious collection of women's ready to wear in 1954, and the first
couturier to introduce short skirts in 1958, his work combines classic
elegance with dare, audacity and a modern touch.
The Givenchy fashion house hit a home run with ladylike, glamorous clothes
and fashion heavies like Jackie O, and Princess Grace. Audrey Hepburn was
its most famous client and muse, famously wearing a long black Givenchy
gown in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Givenchy went on to launch a
men’s line in 1973. By 1976, the Givenchy brand included fabrics,
furnishings, shoes, jewelry, and a Ford Lincoln Continental.
