A whole lot of nothing. I mean, casting was great and the models - men and women - were gorgeous. The soundtrack was fabulous. And some of the clothes were certainly attractive...but...we've seen it all before. I just feel like Tisci isn't adding anything to the conversation anymore.

After all the fuss that was made about showing in NY, I expected something great, instead he presents us with a disjointed and confused collection. On top of that, he decided to make these poor models climb those unnecessary platforms. Did they all annoy him at some point and this was his way of getting back at them? It was inevitable for a fall to happen.
There are a number of beautiful pieces, especially those pieces that were 100% derived from his previous couture collections (when you could count on him). But we've seen those before. The actual collection didn't quite make the cut for me. It's like he was half awake throughout the design process. I expected much better after his lovely outing last season. For what it's worth though, I think the typical Givenchy client will definitely find something to buy here. There is a lot of choice, perhaps too much.

The show was beautiful, the cast was amazing, the clothes were pretty, but I didn't really pay attention to them while watching the stream...

Nothing inspiring. Given that they decided to move the show to NY this season, I was hoping for a collection that is as amazing as F/W 14, if not better. Without a doubt those couture pieces are stunning but we have seen very similar pieces here and there before. Perhaps Ricky should spend less time on partying and Instagram.

All that hype for nothing. What a letdown.
Only pieces I liked were the ones I had already liked 5 seasons ago. It tried to be like his former light and romantic collections but it just wasn't.

It blows my mind how this guy keeps getting away with this repetitive bullsh*it every damn season. We've been seeing the same inspirations, the same silhouette, the same fabrics, the same styling, the same hair & makeup for the last, what, 3-4 years?
This one was particularly insufferable. There was black & white lace and....??? Not even the Helmut Lang nods made it interesting. Felt like the longest show i've ever watched and I can't remember how most of the looks were like.
He needs to go.

That wasn't a rehash, that was a replica. The exact same dresses in different colors. I actually thought it was a retrospective show with pieces from the archive... apparently not. I'll add to the chorus: it's very beautiful but largely unexciting. And the venue, the music, the casting, all were great... I wish the clothes were up to level.
