Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci Photos and reviews of the Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci Haute Couture Spring Summer 2012 Collection Review Mood/Style: Riccardo Tisci, designer at Givenchy, presented a collection full of contrasts: 20s and 30s glamour, Art Deco, the aesthetic of the Fritz Lang film Metropolis, the Soviet constructivist philosophy of Aelita, Protazanov’s cult movie, and techno influences. There were ten looks, all decorated with geometric motifs and details in metal, in a hyper-feminine, graphic style with a futuristic spin – like the tuxedo jacket in crocodile cut like a puzzle, which had been lightened and remounted on tulle and decorated with Deco motifs, or the satin dress completely embroidered in crystals with tiny sequins inside Lengths: maxi Colours: white, black, cream, bronze, brown Materials: taffeta, silk, cotton, sequins, lace, crocodile, chiffon, jais, tulle, crystals Forms: tapered, graphic lines Accessories: galuchat sandals covered in jais with metal heels. Long leather gloves. Sculpture earrings in metal and crystals and silver nose rings showing the influence of techno music SOURCE:********* Max Sortino
