THIS SEASON AT GIVENCHY Riccardo Tisci has us weak at the knees with a beautiful, seductive RTW collection. Dark and sensual, this goes boldly against the season's laid-back, 70sinspired grain. And of course, Givenchy SS15 is as edgy and street-ready as ever: think seriously slick leather dresses, luxe lace bombers and darkly romantic florals. Article by: mytheresa.com All hail Riccardo Tisci, who has transformed Givenchy from a classic couture house to the heartbeat of what's oh-so right now… THE GIVENCHY STORY Founded in 1953 by Hubert de Givenchy, the house of Givenchy quickly grew to become one of the most iconic fashion brands in the world. Since 2005 Riccardo Tisci has protected Givenchy’s architectural lines and aristocratic polish, but added his own dark romantic style and a certain urbanity. With Tisci holding the reigns, Givenchy is ever the trendsetter, unrivalled in its balance of high-end elegance and streetwise chic. He’s who we have to thank for having made the luxe sweatshirt such a contemporary must-have. 22
