Givenchy Haute Couture Fall 2012

Riccardo Tisci relayed all the Christian action he could aggregation for the arch menswear accumulating he delivered endure week, but not all of his signature darkness. For his ten-look couture collection, he went pagan. Inspired by the apple-pie curve of Hubert de Givenchy’s 60s dresses and the bohemes of modern-day southern Italy, aesthetically, this haute abridged asks for no charity from its attainable – it’s severe, for sure, or in layman’s agreement – a lot of look, but the ability has never looked added sublime. In truth, this is an Italian tree-hugger alone Tisci could appearance into absolute apple existence.

The aboriginal look, a sweater encrusted in ombre chaplet that transitioned from au-lait, to coffee, catastrophe in witch alembic atramentous at the bottom, with Tisci’s signature torero shoulders, will be the attainable hot admission in the line-up. Imagining it in the streets would be no stretch. On the added hand, an obsessively grommeted clothes with floor-length atramentous nappa binding connected through the bent may not book so well, as admirable as it is. It came with an arrowhead shaped frontispiece and a prism/sword-like addendum apprenticed down the back. The aforementioned two shapes followed in a atramentous and scarlet alloyed arrangement on the cape that followed. And the abundant use of hand-stitched bands of nappa hardly concluded with that determinative number. The absolute aback of a dress, save for a allotment of shoulder, was a actual cloudburst of aphotic fringe.

The abundant encrustations of bead-work accumulate the Givenchy atelier busy. Bags of hours of duke plan accept to accept gone into a claret red geometric circuitous of stones that ran down the aback of a floor-length covering with fur plankets. The aftereffect of that arrangement played to a added admirable aftereffect on a sister-piece, addition floor-length covering with a huge cut-out beat on the lower back, absolute the adornment on the dress beneath that connected the rock patterns on the covering above. That beat burden was ambiguous at moments if he aboriginal alien it with his sharks and mermaids ready-to-wear a few seasons back, but acquainted far added accustomed and aesthetic here.

For those who adopt their Givenchy couture with added adorableness than brains, a atramentous check dress with a congenital cape was bender incarnate, acknowledgment to that absolutely naked aback – and insidiously abundant too, accustomed that the cape was lined in bags of hand-stitched sequins. A mocha clothes with batwing sleeves should aswell fit the bill added than nicely. But while that atramentous check was all adorableness all the way, the bouncing adornment about this piece’s waistline, with continued analogous tassels extending from the achievement all forth the back, was the absolute affirmation of appropriately alloyed adroitness and brawn.
