Of course, the seasonality behind Fall calls for darker hues and heavier textures; however, Tisci’s take on this transition was extremely refreshing – rich gold-tinged silks housed the design of the Eye of Horus while other pieces boasted loads of mini-ruffles, sheer layering and beige snakeskin effects.
Although there was a bit of a sultry appeal (i.e.- high slits, bare midriff and a playful white lace tiered mini dress), a military-inspired conservatism worked as a slight contrast. With the introduction of high-collars, intricate button detailing and chic epaulettes, the edginess of these accentuations are perfect for our statement-making fashionistas (take note!)
Yet, the factor I loved most was the versatility of the brand. An impressive majority of the pieces can be paired with a few wardrobe staples including a bomb pair of skinny jeans, leather moto trousers, pleated midi skirts and a sleek LBD. When collections possess a certain level of relatability, I believe that helps to garner more inspiration to the masses. And, what Givenchy presentation would be complete without one (or two) fur-trimmed wonders?!
In my opinion, the show was a success! With a superstar following including the sartorial support of Kanye West, Beyonce and the entire Kardashian/Jenner clan, Givenchy is a force to be reckoned with. The Fall collection showcases that women can be sexy in even the most masculine pieces and, with the right styling and unexpected quirks, a mind-blowing look can be taken to unparalleled levels. In addition, I’m a huge fan of Tisci’s unpredictability – it’s a strong precursor that, I feel, gives him that unwavering longevity.
