Clare Waight Keller welcomes her very first couture collection, and it was full of poise and boldness. Givenchy’s first-time couturier put an impeccable show charged with highly refined artistry and craftsmanship.
“I like to think of it as old soul in a new reincarnation.”- Waight Keller said after the show.
The modernised couture collection referenced the house’s traditional feminine cuts, and the importance of top tailoring.
Overall, the show focused on evening-wear in sophisticated dark tones, monochromatic elegant coats, and elaborated gowns topped with an extravagant feathered panache. There were also powerful looks like a multicoloured skirt matched with a classic turtleneck, and a fine-looking latex long pink skirt looked paired with a fringed boxy top.
There was also a great interest in men’s wear, where Waight Keller introduced a variety of ubercool options for guys; and needless to say seeing men walk the couture runway is pretty groundbreaking.
Waight Keller’s is clearly off to a great start, and her objective was to deliver a high level of structured dressing for the women of today.
