The first comprehensive overview of Givenchy's women's collections, from the beginning to the present day, with original photographs from the fashion shows. Founded in 1952 in Paris by Hubert de Givenchy, the house soon became an emblem of casual elegance, embodied by memorable muse Audrey Hepburn. After the founder's retirement in 1995, visionary and refined stylists such as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Julien Macdonald, Riccardo Tisci and Clare Waight Keller took over at the helm, up to creative director Matthew M. Williams, always attentive to the hottest trends of the new decade. Through 179 haute couture and pret à porter collections, Alexandre Samson and Anders Christian Madsen tell the story of a boldly creative brand, balanced between sensuality, romanticism and streetwear.
