Givenchy Runway Presentation Spring 2016

September 12, 2015. Leave a Comment

It won’t be easy to top what Givenchy through Riccardo Tisci brought to New York and to fashion with his NYFW presentation last night. The concept of fashion as a religion it’s often thrown around loosely but Tisci not only crystallized the concept but put an exclamation point on it with an event that set a standard for how very excellent fashion can be.

Rejecting the concept of high fashion as only for the ensconced elite, Tisci invited in the public, honored a City tragedy, celebrated art and presented a masterful collection, a celebration of his 15 years with the label that built upon and elevated prior designs and in many ways felt like the soul of the designer expressed in fashion. Presenting for the first time in the brand’s history outside of Paris, the show was also a tribute to New York, which Tisci has described as “multi-culture, freedom, music, transgression and New York for me is love.”

Speaking strictly from the perspective of fashion trends, it was a decidedly feminine collection full of filmy slip dresses that in many ways recalled the dawning of the age of lingerie as fashion in the late ’80s and early ’90s as first expressed by punks and goths. And though the street inspiration was there, it was blended seamlessly (again the theme of integration and oneness) with high fashion through incredible design and workmanship that included a number of couture pieces, as inspired by prior collections designed by Tisci.

What a moment for Tisci, with this event he elevated the concept of  what a fashion presentation can represent and also set a mark for a new direction in fashion. Bravissimo!

Noah founder and J Crew men's creative director Br Noah founder and J Crew men's creative director Brendon Babenzien has a certified hit on his hands. Part of his debut collection with the retailer, the men's "giant fit" chino priced at 89.50 is 100% sold out! Relecting the popularity of the silhouette, the women's wide-leg pleated cargo is also sold out. 

With wider fits and chino swinging back into popularity, we can't help but wonder what sneakers and shoes will be coming along for the ride. Any nominations?

What was your favorite storyline?
The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.
