Givenchy - The Brand

With fashion icon Audrey Hepburn as a muse, and First Lady Jackie Kennedy as a devoted fan, the Parisian fashion house has always promoted a classical, glamorous style. Today, under the reigns of Italian Riccardo Tisci, the pieces flirt with gothic touches and space age minimalism that create muted tones and clean-cut shapes.

History

Founded in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy, the brand epitomises all that Hubert thought woman should be – slim, elegant and wonderfully ladylike. Whilst early collections boasted clean white lines, Hubert was quick to realise the need for clothes with easy wearability and became the first designer to showcase a women’s ready-to-wear collection.

Style

Although luxurious and decadent, Givency provides function. Their bags, available in colours like soft cream and staple black, are perfect as everyday bags. Best sellers like their Nightingale and Pandora won’t look out of place in the office, lunch with the girls, or even out for a late-night Martini.

Perfect For

Those that love a non-fussy, clean approach to style. These bags work best with simple blouses and tailored pieces to create, as, Hubert de Givenchy would say an ‘always-perfectly-dressed’ appearance.
