This is beautiful and the craftsmanship is sublime, but frankly, I am also sick of seeing merely beautiful dresses at Givenchy. I miss his haute couture shows!
For me, his earlier haute couture collections were absolutely supreme. These shows were not merely about aesthetics but also about making you think. They stimulated on both aesthetic , emotional and, intellectual levels. I also loved the constant surprise; it was new but it was not exceedingly trendy or fashionable. These recent collections however are beyond mundane. For something to be interesting it has to be stimulating; and for something to be stimulating, it has to affect us on more than one level (visual / aesthetic). This is where Tisci's recent haute couture collections fail. Sure, they consist of beautifully crafted gowns that are light as air and whimsical, etc etc - but do they consist of much else? Its such a shame, because we know what he is capable of. This is obviously some kind of commercial / economic strategy and therefore a waste of his talent.

Amazing as usual!
It's the collection I look forward to the most during HC fashion week.
