STYLE | CULTURE | NORTH AFRICA CLASHING WITH JAPAN?

Designers always talk about the references and influences in their collections. But this was quite interesting to me because it was being described as a clash between North Africa and Japan. Quite a contrast of culture and style aesthetics if you really consider that combination. It was quite grim, in my opinion, that a car crash was the centre of attention for the runway show, but every artist has their own creativity in how they want to present their work. The pieces actually were quite interesting in the way the two cultures were mixed together in the design, draping and details of each piece. Take a look at the video and see what you think about the spring 2014 collection for Givenchy.

Givenchy, Paris Fashion Week

The Givenchy spring 2013 collection was ruffled.  Around the neck, shoulders,   Minimalist silhouettes with a modern feel.  Light fabrics flowed.  Skirts were straight, with a flap over the front held with straps on the hip-bone reminding me of a skirt worn by men during the Roman empire, just draped over slim cut trousers.

White, powder blue, nude and black were the color scheme here.  I hope you enjoy this collection as much as I did.

Riding in Givenchy

Givenchy Fall 2012

The sleek loook of the Givenchy boot collection for fall is nothing short of spectacular.  These riding boots are so lovely I don't think any rider would want to risk damaging them by actually riding.  Instead pair them with equestrian inspired looks or even with a beautifully tailored suit or evening dress. 

Some stars have already been seen wearing these.  Lala Anthony was wearing them with denim shorts at an event.  Personally I like the look more dressed up as they are in the looks pictured above.

The Fold-over look was all over Givenchy runway for the fall season.
