Sleek. Stylish. Monochromatic. Givenchy. The Spring/Summer Mens 2015 show by Ricardo Tisci for Givenchy was yet another fantastic collection, packed full of amazing pieces presented in the only way Tisci can. Every model wore sheer caps (a little like a school dinner lady!) with custom made trainers that crept up towards the knee or sat snugly on the ankle. There were tailored suits all in black and white, a theme which ran throughout the collection with dappled floral prints adorned on almost every piece. Men even wore mini skirts over shorts with bright white stripes over the shoulder panels and sides of jackets. If I was a man, this would be my go to collection for next summer, I mean who wouldn't want to rock some of Tisci for the world to see.
However, it was the four supermodel names that stole the show, literally. Isabeli Fontana, Adriana Lima, Irina Shayk and Candice Swanepoel, arguably the most beautiful models in the world, walked alongside the men in equally stylish clothes. I loved Candice's short mini dress with clever black straps holding it up, as well as Isabeli's floral black suit, reworked with a more urban twist by wearing it with trainers. With a feline flick of eyeliner across the eyes and nude lips to compliment the overall look, make up artist Pat McGrath certainly did a great job with these dramatic and bold make up looks, which was snapped eagerly backstage by Irina Shayk and Isabeli Fontana for Instagram. In fact, social media was really at the forefront of this show, with a number of models, designers and celebrities Instagraming the latest Givenchy collection for their eager followers to marvel at.
What I adored about this collection was the beauty of it, even though it was a mens collection. It was sharp, neat and carefully constructed with all the looks complimenting each other perfectly, following on from the last amazing Ricardo Tisci collection at the fall 2014 womenswear show. Tisci seems to just be getting better and better, with a host of celebrity followers including Kim Kardashian who had him make her beautiful wedding gown. With followers like that, anything is possible for this fashion house, made famous in the 1950's by Audrey Hepburn who worked closely with founder Hubert de Givenchy on many of her movies. The house has developed and changed so much over the years, with designers Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Julien MacDonald all holding the position of creative director. However, it is Tisci who has really identified with the brand and pushed it into the forefront of luxury fashion. And looking at this latest collection, things are only looking up...
