Givenchy

Hubert de Givenchy founded his namesake fashion house specializing in Haute Couture and ready to wear in 1952 No sooner did it open than Givenchy earned a reputation for breaking with the fashion codes of its time.

Today, Givenchy remains synonymous with the dual notions of fresh modernity and aristocratic elegance, a tribute to the talents of Monsieur Givenchy’s successors, in chronological order John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Julien MacDonald, Riccardo Tisci and, most recently, Clare Waight Keller.

In June 2020 the iconic House opened a fresh chapter in its history by appointing designer Matthew M Williams as Creative Director for women's and men's collections.
