Givenchy

Founded in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy, the french fashion house has been under the direction of the world's most imaginative and creative designers. John Galliano, Alexander McQueen preceeded italian designer Riccardo Tisci who was appointed creative director in 2005. A man of contradictions, Tisci has revitalized Givenchy with his gothic touches and space-age minimalism, that still manages to have somewhat romantic air. The Givenchy woman is sophisticated, strong and not afraid of expressing her darker sides.
