In homage to Monsieur Hubert de Givenchy, Artistic Director Clare Waight Keller will dedicate her FW18 Haute Couture show to the house’s late founder.
The collection is entitled ‘Caraman’, a reference to the historic 19th-century townhouse originally built for the Duke of Caraman located at 3 Avenue George V, and will be shown in Paris on July 1st at 8pm.
This prestigious hôtel particulier, with its grand staircase, elaborate wrought iron bannister and ornate salons, is where the young Hubert de Givenchy chose to establish his couture ateliers in 1959. They remain here to this day, in a building that has served as an ideal setting for fashion shows, elegant receptions and, in 1959, the first boutique.
For the latest show, Waight Keller honors Monsieur de Givenchy’s memory with an homage to his iconic creations, technique and personal lexicon. An effervescent and profound celebration of his timeless elegance and grace, imbued with the designers fresh take on the Givenchy spirit.
