Since Hubert de Givenchy handed over the reins to Ricardo Tisci, we’ve missed his original point of view severely. Though the modern day iteration of Givenchy worn by celebs on the red carpet is still stunning, the original conceptions of the brand and their designs, many of which have contributed towards monumental moments in history are thanks to the legendary Hubert himself. We’re here to look back at some of our ground-breaking favorites.
1. How could we not start with the famous “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” black dress? The black gown that has been imitated at endless cocktail parties, award shoes, and more. Givenchy brought a new meaning to the words simplicity and elegance with this design that helped make Hepburn the pop culture icon that she is.
2. This gorgeous floral masterpiece made Hepburn a vision in this ugly-duckling-transformed film “Sabrina”. The strapless top, which fit perfectly, and the dramatic, billowing bottom with black underlay is what contemporary designers tackling floral should always look towards. Perfect silhouette, minimalism, and creativity were infused in a very recycled and sometimes garish trend.
3. Bettina Graziana was one of France’s first supermodels who posed for designers like Coco Chanel, but she was also Givenchy’s muse. His first collection was name after her, and the “Bettina blouse”, a high buttoned blouse with ruffles, was insanely popular in the 50s. We still see this silhouette today!
4. It’s known that Givenchy was very inspired by Balenciaga and his 1957 babydoll interpretation of trapeze gowns was a direct inspiration from that, though it wasn’t derivative at all. His idea behind this airy silhouette was to give a woman liberation and freedom from heavy, suffocating fabrics and go the ultra-light and movement-based route.
