Riccardo Tisci draws on a dark, Gothic aesthetic with a subtle elegance in a dramatic and expressive collection that features an abundance of leather and lace. Tisci’s latest innovation empowers Givenchy enthusiasts with an entirely new and sensual approach to fashion.
Emphasising the dark theme, hues of brown and black with striking flashes of red and orange were observed on A-line skirts, leather jumpsuits with oversized sleeves and red dresses peeping through alluringly transparent black lace. A selection of chic over-the-knee leather boots and unusually long leather gloves added to the lavish display of leather; luxurious red silk scarves and black chokers also enhanced the electric, commanding quality surrounding the entire range.
Make-up included a dark brown lip shade and a similar darkening shadow around the entire eye, contrasted with whitened cheeks. This is an authoritative and much-awaited wardrobe update for the winter.
