Givenchy

Hubert de Givenchy’s eponymous house has long been the arbiter of quintessential French elegance. Debuting in 1952 after having worked alongside Pierre Balmain and Christian Dior at the house of Lucien Lelong, then as an assistant to Elsa Schiaparelli, Givenchy offered stylish, sophisticated separates for the modern woman who celebrated understated feminine chic. He famously outfitted his close friend and muse, Audrey Hepburn and was adored by the esteemed likes of First Lady Jackie Kennedy. After his decades-long reign of women’s and men’s couture, Givenchy sold his company to the luxury group LVMH in 1988, and retired seven years later. Immediately succeeded by designer John Galliano, then later, Alexander McQueen and Julien Macdonald, Givenchy appointed the unassuming Riccardo Tisci as creative director in 2005. Paying tribute to Givenchy’s legacy while reinventing it for a new era, women are drawn to Tisci’s ladylike refinement that is darkly romantic, poetically melancholic and provocatively elegant; while men are drawn to his fresh, unpretentious, tailored vision for a modern masculinity bred from moody, slightly menacing roots.
