Givenchy's Couture Flight Of Gothic-Iberian Fancy
LatestItalian designer Riccardo Tisci showed a collection for space-age majas in black widows’ weeds today. And for those of us who just want a blue sequined jumpsuit and feathered evening shorts.
How much does this particular look call to mind the Duchess of Alba, hmm?
The show started a reported 40 minutes late, apparently because the singer Ciara had not yet made her entrance. (For her tardiness, she was booed.) Other front row faces included Lou Doillon, Paz Vega, and the inescapable Kanye West and Amber Rose.
Many of the looks were paired with round, wide hats that projected like grim modern lampshades. I love the way the ruffles on that dress are unwound, flattened, and deconstructed as they travel up the bodice — it’s a maneuver that really takes away from their natural tendency toward fussiness.
