Riccardo Tisci - Designer

[GIVENCHYlover]

I know they were close, but was Carine Roitfeld the stylist for Riccardo's shows? Looking back at his Givenchy collections, it seems like almost every look follows Carine Roitfeld's style/silhouette.

This collection was so Helmut Lang-coded but Tisci-fied. Would love to see his take on Helmut Lang for a few seasons.

God, Simone Nobili has been my crush those years, I was obsessed with him… so sad he died so young 😭

It was mostly Katy England who styled his earlier Givenchy shows and later Panos Yiapanis.
Two fantastic stylists whose work is very much missed, I haven't seen them around much in recent years.

Carine was a fan for sure and she did style some Givenchy campaigns (after she resigned as EIC of Vogue Paris)..even appeared in one ad herself. Maybe she did some shows too, but not during her time at VP.

Interesting how fashion turned to sh*t around 2015.

Or maybe i'm mad cause Riccardo don't have the same amount of copycats as Phoebe.

takes a bit more skills to cut clothes like tisci...

 

[kingtheyskens]

none of these designers are sitting at a table cutting the clothes themselves anymore. the job is of a creative director is to delegate lol. they have entire teams for construction

 

[tourbillions]

not what i meant but..

Carine is the reason why he got the Givenchy job. It’s known that she liked to visit his studio. A lot of pieces were gifts as he was probably grateful.
I know she was instrumental in some models getting Givenchy campaigns when she was at Vogue (the campaign with Natasha Poly and Catherine McNeil for example) before styling the campaigns when she left VP.

If Balenciaga wants to keep Balenciaga Couture, in which they invested so much, it makes sense to look at a profile like Riccardo.
If they also want to continue to sell $1,000 extravagant sneakers, he might be their man too.
So he has quite a rare profile.

I just fail to see his relevance in 2025, and if he keeps insisting on «XXX by Riccardo Tisci », I simply don’t see the suits at Kering accepting a co-branding.

He does need to evolve for 2025... But also we do have Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello so I'm sure they can make Balenciaga by Riccardo Tisci happen. Gucci by Demna though...

« Saint-Laurent by XXX » was a decision 25 years ago, when Tom Ford demanded it, and YSL followed through with all the other successive CDs. If Stefano and Hedi had it, they could not diplomatically refuse it to Anthony.
Now it’s 2025, and corporate doesn’t want to add more confusion to their branding, especially at Balenciaga, which is already very confused by all the collabs.
And especially if they are going through another round of musical chairs in 2/3 years.

Did he have that at Burberry? Never saw a “Burberry by Riccardo Tisci” credit.

Tom was fabulous enough to decide on “Tom Ford for Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche”.
