A/H 2006: Paris Top 5: Givenchy

Ricardo Tisci’s collection for Givenchy was all about the ultra-sexy secretary, experimenting with new uses for fabric and sculptural cuts to ensure a directional, ingenuious as well as elegant result.

Lace prints on white shirts…

…using the seasons most wanted colour - Red…

…textural interest by way of texture and cut…

…use of volume…

…and fabric contrasts…

…high waist restraint…

…pretty little frothy numbers for evening to all out glamourous full length statement dresses…

… for red carpet events…

…finished by sculptural footwear…

…or comfortable boots…

…but for evening only velvet and sequins will do.
