Her first menswear collection for Givenchy just dropped online aaaand...that's basically her Mcqueen with sloppier tailoring!
Show this blazer to anyone from the fashion pack and they would tell you this is a typical embroidered Mcqueen black suit jacket.
I know Givenchy menswear is nowadays associated to chav / logo bomber jackets but come on now, there is no vision in this.
The only decent item from the collection is this couture cocoon trench coat, but, again, this could be mistaken for a piece from her Mcqueen tenure.
And by the way...4k for a trench coat by Givenchy...MADE IN PORTUGAL? Are people from LVMH out of their minds? That's where Jacquemus / Balmain outsource most of their RTW, not a country you would associate to a former couture house owned by the most relevant and important fashion group in the world.
Fun fact: had the same trench coat being manufactured in Italy / France it would have costed max 200€ and they could have easily sold at 4,5k and still overcome the increased production cost.
If she gets her contract renewed after a fiasco tenure, complete irrelevancy in the fashion conversation and no PR endorsement I swear I'm gonna cry and ask Matthew Williams to come back.
