Givenchy Collection
January 23, 2009
Givenchy Men's RTW Fall 2009
For his second men’s wear outing, Riccardo Tisci led Givenchy into new waters, with a futuristic, nautical-inspired collection with the undercurrents of Goth and bondage he finds so irrresistible. To be sure, laced-up leather leggings and thigh-high glitter boots may not be for your average mariner, but Tisci is only beginning to get his feet wet in the men’s department after four years as Givenchy’s couturier. The show opened strongly with dramatic navy capes and pea coats, which he toughened by paving black leather over the sleeves or torso. Tisci also demonstrated his formidable talent at the cutting table with suits that were youthful, trim and sleek, with strong shoulders and hidden plackets. Streetwise hooded sweatshirts, glossy down jackets and screen-printed T-shirts were less convincing for this French brand, but Tisci is bound to find his sea legs.
