IN LOVE WE THRUST

Q. Are you aware that edi tors don’t entirely grasp your work?

A. Yes, I do have that impression. When I arrived @Givenchyofficial, I was a guy from nowhere. And #Givenchy was kind of confused. Nobody knew what it meant anymore. I think now the press is beginning to underst and what I’m doing. My way of showing is very melancholic. People call me a Gothic designer — I don’t think I am. I love romanticism and sensuality, maybe because I come from a family with eight sisters. I’m also a person who is very emotional. I like black, I like white. I never like what’s in the middle. To me, fashion is more and more about that. It’s not about shocking. It’s about what you want to wear. And the runway is where I try to transmit this.” Q&A with #CathyHoryn – nearly a decade ago .. _

@Riccar doTisci17’ work is stunning. I’ve seen it inside out: perfected perfection. Is it dark? Yes. Is it a bit too tortured at times? Yes… but wasn’t everyone asking for a way on how to define the house of Givenchy in the 21st century and how this house is presented under the current cultural context not 1940’s patterns and silhouettes archives? Well, there you have it. So taste it up and dress it in. Because unlike other French houses, #Givenchy did not depend on magazine’s hypes to make a clear social, artistic and commercial statement in the fashion industry. The collections are selling high too, and as far as @LVMH is concerned that’s just very fine. As a writer I can appreciate how well Riccar do sews his creativity: legible, themed with repeated elements and assumed heritage. His #SS16 #GRTnyc17 – splendidly a dorned by @PatMcGrathreal’s Beauty Joaillerie – proved one more collection that #Riccar doTisci’s romance is as ever aris tocratic as ever modern.
