Country Meets Couture at Givenchy Mens



Givenchy has shown just two collections so far under Clare Waight Keller, both of which referenced the brand's rich past with forward-thinking techniques. This season, the first on the Paris runway after showing in Florence last year, Keller was inspired by the 14th Maharajah of Indore, who traveled the world dripping in finery and lavish costumes. He left his home in India to go to LA, which explains the Western references and couture embroidery on evening wear. All of this is juxtaposed by fetish detailing like giant pins and colorful latex, which were done in collaboration with Atsuko Kudo. Here's everything else you need to know about the Fall 2020 collection.
