Fashion Fame

Givenchy’s designer, Riccardo Tisci opened his show at Paris Fashion Week with snowflake-patterned knits and coats. Collection was inspired from ski & scuba world and colors of Bauhaus. Two towering heroes of modern fashion designs – Helmut Lang and Martin Margiela, whose retirement from the fashion house, left a gaping hole in women’s wardrobes. Tisci’s tailoring had tried to fill that gap with sharp camel coats, tuxedo suits, and lean black pants.

For Givenchy Fall 2010 Collection, Tisci used neoprene diving fabric which he nicely melded into his collection with reworking of aesthetics of nineties, personalized with Tisci’s taste for Parisian glamor. Color pattern set for this collection was black, red, and beige. Tisci set a look for models which was accompanied by tape-bound throats, red glitter gloves, bags, and lips and sexy workings of scarlet, black, and nude lace.

Scuba-ski patterns re-engineered into formfitting bodysuits, sunk into neoprene lower garments that unfurled at waist by means of zippers. Tisci returned to working with feathers – a feature he has made his own in past Givenchy collections. For evening wears, he set a fold-down device which was transposed to inform shape of black velvet and satin evening shifts and tunics.

At end he featured his own style in his couture collections over several seasons consisting T-shirts, paired with narrow black pants, which was quite appreciating. Shoes and gloves were the main highlights among accessories used. They were absolutely Givenchy Gorgeous!!
