Givenchy

The legendary French fashion house Givenchy was founded in 1952 by Hubert Givenchy. Its products belong to the high fashion segment and are the dream of many fashionistas around the world. The young designer's first collections were often made of cotton. White blouse Bettina with black and white ruffles on the sleeves, sewn from cotton fabric, has become a real trademark of the brand. In 1955, Givenchy won the Academy Award for Best Costume Designer for Audrey Hepburn. Collaborating with the actress, he repeatedly called her a muse and considered her the embodiment of style and beauty. It was she who inspired the designer to create a free-cut shirt dress, known as the sack dress. In addition, Givenchy collaborated with the famous Cristobal Balenciaga, borrowing from him the focus on colour and shape and the absence of unnecessary décor or other details. Since 1988, the brand has been part of the LVMH Corporation, including Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, and other brands. The fashion world saw the last collection created by the great couturier Hubert Givenchy in 1995. After that, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Julian MacDonald, Oswald Boateng, Riccardo Tisci worked on the brand's products. Clare Waight Keller has been creative director since 2017. It is she who owns the authorship of Meghan Markle's wedding dress. Today, the brand represents a large selection of women's clothing and men's wardrobe items, as well as perfumes.
