Givenchy

About the brand

Givenchy is a French fashion brand, established in 1952, that produces clothing and footwear, as well as accessories and perfumes. Since 1988, Givenchy has been part of the world's largest corporation LVMH. At the moment the post of creative director of the brand is Matthew Williams, known in the fashion world for his luxury sportswear brand "1017 Alyx 9SM". The brand is headquartered in Paris, on Avenue George V.

Givenchy's DNA

The Givenchy style is a unique combination of elegant classics with ultra-modern elements. The products that Givenchy's official website presents are able to satisfy the most demanding customers.

The fashion house has released a large number of clothing models, but its most iconic pieces include:

• The "Bettina" blouse, named after the famous model Bettina Graziani. Its flouncy sleeves with delicate embroidered flounces are a reference to one of Givenchy's favorite paintings, Circle Segments by artist Laszlo Mohoy-Nadia.
• A sack dress with a distinctive loose fit, sewn from stiff starched cotton.
• The black cocktail dress in which Hubert de Givenchy's muse, actress Audrey Hepburn, looks through a luxury store window in the cult movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

The Givenchy brand regularly produces haute couture and ready-to-wear collections for women and men, as well as exclusive accessories and perfumes. Today, as in the days of its creator Hubert de Givenchy, this fashion house is the epitome of luxury and elitism.

History of Givenchy

The Givenchy brand was founded in 1952. Its 25-year-old creator Hubert de Givenchy became the youngest couturier in fashion history at the time. And it is not surprising - he was a hereditary aristocrat and grew up among beauty, art and refined manners. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and worked as an assistant to famous designers such as Elsa Schiaparelli, Jacques Fath and Lucien Lelong.

The first Givenchy collection, released that same year, 1952, was a huge success. The New York Times published an enthusiastic article on the birth of a new fashion star, and Time magazine devoted four pages to the budding couturier.

In 1953, the designer met movie star Audrey Hepburn, who became his muse and favorite client. In his outfits the actress appeared in all her films - Breakfast at Tiffany's, Funny Face, How to Steal a Million, Sabrina and others.

Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich, Jacqueline Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, Wallis Simpson and other celebrities known for their sophistication and sense of style have also been clients of Givenchy.

Givenchy's first men's collection, which was also very successful, was released in 1973.

In 1988 Givenchy sold his company to LVMH. Despite this, the famous couturier stayed on and remained as the brand's leading designer until 1995.

After Hubert de Givenchy's departure, Givenchy was taken over by John Galliano, famous for his colorful collections and spectacular shows. In 1996, however, Galliano moved to Dior.

His place was taken by Alexander McQueen, who worked for the company from 1996 to 2001. His shows were even more spectacular and were real theatrical performances. Many believe that it was McQueen who breathed new life into Givenchy and adapted the brand to modern realities.

In 2001, Julian Macdonald was hired as Givenchy's creative director. His outspoken collections had very little to do with the brand's DNA, so he left the company in early 2004.

McDonald was replaced by Italian fashion designer Riccardo Tisci, who created a completely new image of Givenchy's heroine - an original mix of French chic, grunge and gothic. During Tisci's work, the Givenchy brand became one of the most commercially successful among all LVMH companies. This fruitful collaboration ended in 2017, when the designer decided to stop working with the brand and focus on his own interests.

His successor, LVMH management appointed Claire Waight Keller, who made Givenchy's clothes more relaxed and restrained.

The Givenchy brand is now headed by Matthew Williams, who skillfully combines urban style with timeless elegance.
