#PFW TODAY: Givenchy, McQueen, Hermes and more

GIVENCHY
It's crazy to think that only a few hours after attending the Givenchy show, Kim Kardashian was the theft, which reportedly lost her £8.5 million worth of jewellery. Very scary.
 
Anyway, this story doesn't have much relevance to the latest Ricardo Tisci collection for Givenchy. With Kim, Courtney Love, Natalia Vodianova, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik all sitting front row, there certainly wasn't any shortage of celebrities. As for the collection itself, it was darkly glamorous, with a strong emphasis on crystallised rocks - you'll need to see the photos to understand. I loved the way models walked with their hair slicked in a side parting across the forehead with a steady glare at the throng of cameras at the end of the catwalk. Black was paired with hot pinks, soft beiges and even flashes of yellow. Huge necklaces with rocks hanging from them looked amazing with form fitting dresses which came stripy and slightly robbed at gun point at her Paris house. The reality tv star escaped unharmed but badly shaken from a symmetric. Another fantastic show from Ricardo Tisci who just can't stop getting better.
HERMES
Beige and green seemed to be Hermes' colours for next season, with a minimal, simplistic collection...
 
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN
Sarah Burton has shown us once again how much she loves historical costumes, particularly the Tudor period. She sent out tough, all black leather looks alongside romantic basque style dresses in layers of chiffon and floral patterns. Her model line up as well as the hair/make up continued to tie into the gender neutral themes that have been such a talking point this year. A strong yet beautiful show.
 
GIAMBATTISTA VALLI
Black and white, floral dresses, skinny black trousers and a penchant for sheer materials; for spring/summer 2017 Giambattista Valli was stylish but with a sexy edge. Gigi Hadid strode down the catwalk in little more than a black bra and high waist shorts, while bralets were worn over silk dresses or underneath little jackets, bearing the midriff. 

STELLA MCCARTNEY
I'm not a huge fan of Stella McCartney, but there were pieces in this collection which I rather liked. Take the khaki dress with balloon sleeves or the beige tops and trousers which were paired with pristine white. Shapes were slouchy but showed off the waist while trousers came gathered and loose.
