Givenchy

Hubert de Givenchy founded his eponymous fashion house specializing in haute couture and ready-to-wear in 1952 and earned a reputation for breaking the fashion codes of his time. Today, Givenchy remains synonymous with the dual notions of cool modernity and aristocratic elegance, a tribute to the talents of Monsieur Givenchy's successors, in chronological order: John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Julien MacDonald, Riccardo Tisci and, most recently, Clare Waight Keller. In June 2020, the iconic house opened a new chapter in its history by appointing designer Matthew M. Williams as creative director of its women's and men's collections.
