If this is Ricardo Tisci’s last collection for Givenchy, before moving to Dior, well than he is making his exit with a bang. The collection felt like a very new kind of streetwear, a super hard but still ultra feminine, luxury streetwear. The graphics really lightened up the some seriously femme fatale looks. I loved the layered organza and fur (perhaps it was velour) duets.

Laces, pearls, feathers, hairs and silk, a majestic feeling is represented for the Givenchy 2010 Paris Couture collection designed by Riccardo Tisci. This Haute-couture was inspired by Frida Kahlo and her three obsessions: religion, sensuality, and, given the painter’s lifelong battle with spinal pain, the human anatomy…  (...)

I am completely digging these detail shots from the Givenchy Fall 09 Couture runway. Im used to squinting at runway photos in attempts of getting a better reading of the garment and end up still imagining half the details. It is not often enough we get to see detail shots from the runways. Maybe this is because its not every runway or even every season that there is something nearly as striking as this Givenchy Collection but there is no doubt the concept and accessories of the Fall 09 Givenchy Couture Collection called for this kind of attention. For Fall Ricardo Tisci was inspired by two contrasting worlds, that of David Bowie and the eccentric Moroccan culture, which fused together in a very powerful way on the runway. The bold hardware rocks my world! There is also a great interview of Ricardo Tisci by Harriet Mays Powell for NY Magazine to watch below.
