Givenchy Handbags
What had transpired on the Givenchy Handbags runway in the preceding 20 minutes was, at least in part, a corrective response to the criticism of his last “Western Bondage” collection, which was deemed to be only wearable by the super-skinniest of the fashion brave. In this collection, there were ample representations of Tisci’s breadth of appeal: suits, coats, tailored dresses, well-cut pants. Yet there were many other parts as well—fierce, chic one-sleeved spiral-cut dresses with fur implants in the shoulder pads; feathers and goat hair embroidered onto tulle; signature Tisci-esque moments of fetish-y leather and goth mermaid; studs on white leather…and so it went on.
Their beauty and modernity demonstrated beyond doubt that Tisci has taken much from his experience with Givenchy’s couture. Yet perhaps things have now reached the stage where the guy doesn’t need to keep trying so hard to prove himself: We believe him. It would actually have shown more self-confidence if he’d whittled his catalog of accomplishments down by a third.
From 2005, The reins for both haute couture and women’s ready-to-wear were ultimately passed on to Riccardo Tisci when he was named chief designer of womenswear. Reviews and output so far have been mixed and inconsistent, but many, including influential fashion critics have honed in on Tisci’s conceptual leanings, as well as his future potential for revitalizing the Givenchy handbags and infusing it with his precision and imagination.
