Show Review: Givenchy Fall 2016 Ready-to-Wear

Riccardo’s Tisci’s Egypitian-drenched influence was quite evident throughout the presentation of Givenchy’s Fall 2016 Ready-to-Wear collection. Each model looked as if they were (literally) gliding down the catwalk as consistent strings of boisterous prints, majestic detailing and signature black monochromatic ‘fits proved that these pieces were a distinct evolution from the fashion house’s feminine romanticism from Spring 2016.

show-review-givenchy-fall-2016-fbd8

show-review-givenchy-fall-2016-fbd9

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.
