One unforgettable piece is a one-sleeved black and grey dress with an asymmetrical hemline. The iconic label maintains a status quo with a polka dot dress in a two-layered ensemble with black as the base and a grey apron with large 'holes'.
Tisci also created keyholes on a black shell, layered it over with beige chiffon adorned with a sheer circulation fabric for volume. Unusual styling and gorgeous tiers of silk and chiffon with relaxed tailoring gives the collection an opulent feel.
The use of rivets is Tisci's most innovative take on polka dots. He puts holes of varying sizes on jackets, blouses and dresses, giving an industrial spin to the collection even while keeping a refined and sophisticated silhouette and making much of this collection wearable.
Tisci has also used big black crystal beads to add élan to what would otherwise have been a simple black dress. The season's Givenchy line-up is another testament to Tisci's trademark style of contemporary elegance.
The collection is not blatantly girly, but mature and sophisticated. The look simply is sensuous made for a beautifully bold and flamboyant collection.
Through Tisci's vision, Givenchy continues its lonely role as a couturier for elegant women. Givenchy products are available at select Rodeo Drive outlets in the UAE.
