givenchy








it's quite easy to summarize the trends from Givenchy 2011 SS, basically all about zippers, gothic (still), ruffles, sheer, harness, leopard prints etc..

I adore the zippers attached on the chest part of the shirt, mixing up the heavy metallic touch with light sheer, sort of like 90s gothic style stepping into futurism. All the craftships and the spirit of haute couture are still preserved with some delicate details, such as the top with numerous leather folds and leather harness on the back, the top with ruffles of sheer/tafta (perhaps?) and trimmed with zippers. To me, sheer wasn't the innovative idea of Tisci, but it is how he collaged the material with those we rarely expect and also extended its length to long, slightly flared trousers. of course, the leather harness reminds me Zana from garbage dress, but Tisci levelled up its function as the back of leather top.

As usual, this collection is not designed for pleasing male animals, but if you pair up the single item with different styles, you'll see 90s Depp & Moss, new sexy power suits, a bit antwerpen deconstructural style, romantic leopard dress...etc.
