"Very clean and severe, with a touch of romance" is how he described these Givenchy looks — and his own fashion sensibility.
Tisci's pre-spring collection for Givenchy, being shown to buyers here this week, certainly suggests an edgier, slightly darker and unapologetically modern mood. Mostly in black, with butter and sage tones for relief, the collection leans to minimal sportswear with unusual details. Key looks include jersey dresses with transformable necklines; lean pants, occasionally with built-in corsets, and soft jackets with zippered lapels revealing a ruff — a wink to Givenchy's famous "rose" jacket.
I believe this is by Tisci. Love it. It's regal, noble, classy, detail-oriented, chic, chic, chic, better Bermuda than Chloe's, most importantly, I see Modernity. Givenchy is in good hands.
