Hubert de Givenchy and his grandiose fashion empire

Hubert de Givenchy founded his still successful fashion company in Paris in 1952. After a short time, the fashion designer conquered the Parisian fashion sky with his inspiring flair for fashion. In addition to luxurious haute couture fashion for women, high-priced prêt-à-porter, accessories, perfume and cosmetics – Givenchy is one of the most sought-after and gifted fashion designers of our time.

Extravagant fashion like from a fairy tale

Clare Waight Keller’s haute couture for Givenchy has so far been characterized by a certain rigor. This is undoubtedly due to her deep respect for the house and possibly also because haute couture is a new world for her. However, as always, we find her collection absolutely successful. See for yourself in the video.

Summer dresses, feminine silhouettes and romantic pantsuits

Clare Waight Keller’s haute couture collection for spring was rooted in her memories of a visit to the gardens Vita Sackville-West had planted at Sissinghurst Castle, “It’s one of the most romantic places in England,” she said, “I’m obsessed with this place.

Top class fashion shows: Givenchy’s best backdrops

The creative minds at Givenchys are always coming up with something new. After all, a normal catwalk gets boring at some point. That’s why the best locations are always sought for the fashion empire’s latest shows – with great success, we think.

Male prints and emancipated cuts in the midst of Italian romanticism

In 2020, the label left the familiar Paris to show its collection in the gardens of the Villa Palmieri in Florence – a place where history and romance mix. The exhibition starts on the terrace of the house surrounded by cast-iron tables and ends in the extensive green spaces of the property.

Melancholic Haute Couture in a royal garden

Waight Keller, creative director of the brand, paid tribute to the founder of the Hubert de Givenchy brand, who died shortly before, with the autumn haute couture collection. The silhouettes of the mannequins were increasingly in the foreground here and richly decorated dresses twisted the heads of the ladies in the Front Row in particular.

Diverse collection for men with lots of latex, embroidery and metal lace

For Autumn / Winter 2020 Claire Waight Keller dressed the young models in mainly figure-hugging coats and latex bodysuits. Inspired by the fashion of the young prince Yeshwant Rao Holkar II, who left India half a century ago to explore the world. So you can find here mainly royal embroideries and sparkling rhinestones, as you can see in the video.

Interview with fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy

Hubert de Givenchy was a French fashion designer, couturier and designer. Who founded the fashion and cosmetics company Givenchy, which is now celebrating international success, in Paris in 1952. This interview shows his interesting and moving story and how it all began with the Givenchy fashion label.

Casual with a water bottle in your hand, wonderfully unvarnished and still with dishevelled hair – that’s how a rehearsal really takes place a few hours before the big fashion show.

Dolce & Gabbana – Dazzling success story

It all began in 1998 at the Italian fashion house Gabbanas in Milan. Originally, Domenico Dolce wanted to apply for a job there. But Stefano Gabbana immediately recognized Dolce’s talent and so the official fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana was born. The first classic fashion line was followed by collections with sporty jerseys, lascivious underwear and later even the first perfume. Since then the creative designer duo has won countless awards.

Innovative menswear and spectacular fashion shows

For decades the designers Dolce &Gabbana have been praised for their collections. They even received the notorious “Woolmark Award” for their original men’s collections. Take a look at the highlights here.

Knitted coats and berets for autumn

Similar to the women’s Ready to wear collection, the men’s collection also included a lot of knitwear in opaque colours. The models here reminded a little bit of a young paperboy from a Charles Dickinson novel. Oversized coats and heavy knitted caps were used more and more.

Gold plated shirts and royal prints: A Fashion Show for the Gods

The men’s haute couture collection was also presented in Sicily. This time at the Palazzo dei Gesuiti. Surrounded by awe-inspiring statues of Zeus and other gods, the models radiated a touch of antique romanticism. Here is the video of the fashion show.
