Givenchy Spring Summer 2012 Details

Detail shots from Riccardo Tisci's latest collection for Givenchy Ready-to-wear, with its beautiful pale pink, black, ivory and grey 'undulating lapels peplums trimmed not in leather but eel skin, shark, or stingray'.




-If I may weigh in on the fashion scandal of the year- when I read the rumors that Tisci may be moved to Dior I was horrified! Givenchy is the perfect home for Riccardo, I can't imagine him anywhere else. Tiziana Cardini was so on-point in her Vogue.it review sighting Tisci's ready-to-wear creations as 'savoir-faire couture'.

Details from Givenchy Haute Couture Fall Winter 2011 / 2012

Silvery-gray caviar beads, tiger's-eye pearls, interwoven grey cashmere, silk, tulle, hand-curled ostrich feathers, symmetrical hand-cut silk tulle paillettes, and densely imbricated hand-sewn sequins all in ivory, white, beige and gold.

Meshed champagne ivory cream and pale gold. The Haute Couture shows start in 2 days; I can't help recalling these two particular dresses from the Givenchy S/S HC collection from last season. Apparently, 'The first recorded use of gold as a color name in English was in the year 1400.^{[1]' (wikipedia)}
