GIVENCHY Spring Summer
LOOKBOOK 2015
GIVENCHY The Givenchy SS/15 Menswear show displayed Riccardo Tisci going all the way back to his roots with a collection that recalled his first catwalk efforts: the tailoring, the churchy monochrome strictness (black jacket, white shirt, black tie), the school uniform, the sports influence a lot more sublimated than it had subsequently become. The beefy models in their skullcaps looked like the kind of toughs who might hang out on street corners in the south of Italy, where Tisci was born. It was almost as though he was street-casting for a private army. Tisci also reintroduced romance to his menswear by making his favorite flower, gypsophila, also known as baby’s breath, the presentation’s visual relief. By show’s end, the floral effect was a crust of pearl-studded embroidery on the back of a bomber jacket. It was still, however, muted in comparison to his past extravagances, which underscored the impression that this offering was some kind of holding pattern for Tisci. He is still young enough that he could move his career forward from this revisited starting point to a completely different path than the one he’s already taken. Take a look and enjoy some of the most influential pieces in the Givenchy Menswear Spring/Summer, 2015 lookbook.
