Stars come out for Givenchy show

French giant Givenchy will be the main attraction at New York fashion week on Friday, with its bolt across the Atlantic after decades in Paris one of the most hotly anticipated events of the season, AFP reports. The show marks Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci’s 10 years in charge at the brand in the LVMH luxury goods stable and coincides with the opening of a new flagship boutique on Madison Avenue.

Givenchy calmed the crowd, including more than 800 members of the public who received tickets to watch from the sidelines, with a soundtrack of chanting and other music honoring six cultures and religions.

The 400m-squared space is arranged across a double-height main floor with a mezzanine floating above the rear, and is fronted by a simple and minimalistic facade. Whatever the case, it takes a big vision and a big message in order to stand out at New York Fashion Week – and this was definitely a worthy one.

Black and white were the colors of the night.

The show was also her half-sister Kendall Jenner’s NYFW debut.

And what’s a runway show without a proper spill? Models confidently wore trendy designs that ranged from fitted black and white T-shirts to bright pink shorts to semi-loose blazers. Biblical. They’re also the colours of Frenchness, of chambermaids and Existentialists – and those 1950s photos of Bettina Graziana in the flouncy Givenchy blouses she leant her name to.

It was a glittering, handsome scene-lower Manhattan is, on normal days-and the soundtrack, provided live and running the gamut between what seemed to be religious songs in languages like Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi, and Latin (“Ave Maria” closed it out), was appropriately somber, with a winding runway crafted from recycled materials, though if this was a message of unity it was a slight bit too reducto and self-conscious. It may have been worth it to wait on a rapper who calls himself Yeezus. “I loved the shoes”, Mr. Tyler said.

“I’ve never been, so I wanted it to be my dream and fantasy of what it would be like through my idea of this woman traveling to Morocco”, Siriano said Saturday in a backstage interview before the show. Fringe danced under the bright lights on flouncy skirts and dresses.

Julia showed no signs of strain at the bash, as she caught up with friends on the red carpet as she kept her wedding ring on, while a United States report was released suggesting that someone could be moving out of her Malibu home.
