ewening · 22-01-2008

yeah.. i know it's similar to his earlier work, but i still adore it!

Amywilliams · 22-01-2008

I LOVE this!!!!
Yes, some of the pieces are quite similar, but that doesnt take from how beautiful the clothing is!! I am so glad there is this HC collection - the only one i truly love so far!!
Many of the pieces are just stunning, and I love the quirkiness of the bow on the back of the feathered dress!

Of course things will be similar to his past work,i mean the same person designed them,lol!

shop7th · 22-01-2008

i think using similar colors and embellishments sort of solidify the image the brand is trying to design for. at least that's how i think of it... when you think of a certain designer, you think of a certain silhouette/color and i think that might be the point. but evolving is also important..

Squizree · 22-01-2008

Wow! This is marvellous. Ive never seen such beauty from a couture collection. Its something ud see in a fantasy book. The white coat i sooo beautiful. I love the white flowing dresses. ALL the colours are excellently used.

Diorette · 22-01-2008

This is gorgeous. The white coat is exquisite. Love love love this.

liberty33r1b · 22-01-2008

the white coat is soo fantastic, i would really love to have this in my closet...

Amywilliams · 22-01-2008

^Wouldnt we all!!

I'm sorry, but there is a big difference between having continuity in your work and repeating yourself with strikingly similar garments season after season.

Where as he was evolving in the past two years, developing signature ideas and such, this is just a rehash. Some of the things aren't even different. That red dress is just a shorter version of the grey gown from 07, that's hardly what I'd call being consistent, that's downright lazy from a HC standpoint.

Considering how hard people have been on Galliano's couture, especially this season, it seems only fair to call out Tisci for falling into the same trap of repeating himself.

yourbestfriend · 22-01-2008

I alway love givenchy HC. This is no exception.

cygnenoir · 22-01-2008

Yes, there are some pieces that are definitely similar to previous collections, but I think that's part of Tisci's signature style. Although I think fashion people weirdly expect it, one can not and should not change completely from collection to collection.

I like what I've seen so far. If I had that white coat, I would have a difficult time not wearing it every day. Oh, how I just love couture week.

**Inaya** · 22-01-2008

I'd love to see Carine rocking the white coat

Symetrie · 22-01-2008

I love the jacket on #21. Very haute couture!
