Givenchy

The Givenchy spring/summer 2012 runway show during Paris fashion week was a star-studded affair. And I’m not even talking about the front row. The runway was full of big named supermodels such as Gisele Bundchen, Natalia Vodianova and Karolina Kurkova.

The collection was split into 3 color schemes. The black, the salmon pink and the sparkly grey.

Designer Riccardo Tisci said that he was inspired by surfers and mermaids for this collection, which explains the really tight pants. The pants were so tight that they could have actually been wetsuits.

What was great about the collection was that it was very wearable. Sometimes you see things on the runway that look good only on the runway as a piece of art, but you can never see yourself wearing on a day-to-day basis. This collection however was not like that. Who doesn’t like to wear tight pants and hot jackets?

The famous French fashion house Givenchy has just announced that Uma Thurman is the new celebrity face for their Perfume.

The Kill Bill star and former Mrs. Ethan Hawke will be the celebrity model for the new women’s fragrance, which will launch in Europe this fall.

Uma joins Givenchy’s start-studded cast of gorgeous people, which includes Justin Timberlake, Marie Steiss and Liv Tyler.

Now just because the ads will only be in Europe does not mean you have to board the next plane to Paris just to see them! Rumor also has it that the new Perfume might launch stateside in 2010.

Uma and Givenchy? Magnifique!

It’s no secret that music has always had an influence on fashion. Take Rock N Roll, which re-emerged in the 21st Century fashion books bringing skinny jeans and vintage t-shirts back in style.

In the late 90’s, every teenage girl was mimicking Mariah Carey and Britney Spears fashion style with the low cut denim showing off the belly ring.

Last year we saw Karl Lagerfeld using train wreck Amy Winehouse as his inspiration for his collection for Chanel. Lagerfeld had his models with beehive hairstyles with thick eyeliner and 50's inspired clothing. Now, it’s 2009, which is the year of change, and the days of looking like a train wreck are so yesterday.

Judging by the trends coming out of Paris Fashion Week, fashion designers are now using Lady Gaga as their muse for their Spring/Summer 2009 collection.

When Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci unveiled his Spring /Summer 2009 collection, there were many leotards on the runway which would be fit for Lady Gaga. Seeing all these leotards brings us to the question; would you wear it out in public?

Let’s be honest, Madonna can get away with it since she has buns of steel. Where does that leave the average fashionista? Let us know your thoughts.

Most collections go dark during Fall but not Givenchy. Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci decided to go bright for his Fall 2009 collection.

Tisci brought in his color palette and painted his collection with all the tobacco browns, vivid pinks, purples and touches of white.

The designer used intricate details making each dress unique with it's own story. Simplicity doesn’t exist for Fall when it comes to this designer. Tisci also saw stripes with his knit dresses, boots and hats.

The fashion show brought in some Hollywood ladies including Liv Tyler and Patricia Arquette. These leading ladies sat in the front row and picked their favorite items.

To be honest, there were some items that stood out from this collection but for the most part there was too much going on? What are you’re thoughts?
