Givenchy spring summer 2012.
“Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy showcases a collection inspired by the mysterious world of sea creatures: fascinating women with a languid allure, emerging at sunset, clad in the Ocean’s colors. No romantic indulgences here, although a vague softness pervades the collection, but rather a style mixing surfing and mermaids, jellyfishes and sea serpents, organic and sensuous elements in contrast with stronger lines, more graphic and edgy. Rich in contrasts and suggestions, the resulting image, based on the experimentation of original languages, is always explored with boldness and innovation.” (x)
