For Autumn-Winter 2024, Givenchy's women's ready-to-wear studio rereads the archive, highlighting the playful and provocative sides of femininity typical of the maison: seductive necklines, bold drapes, eccentric volumes.
One direction, that of rereading the archive, already undertaken with the men's collection, presented in January (while the fashion world awaits the appointment of the new designer who will succeed Matthew M. Williams).
So in the collection there are graphic necklines that become the key points of the day dresses, constructed with glass collars, then corset dresses with necklines, as well as bustiers and leather and velvet dresses with décolleté tied with rigid petal-shaped bows, a theme which is found throughout the collection.
In contrast to the necklines there are dramatic drapes, oversized sweaters, small black bustier dresses and miniskirts with architectural lines.
The trousers reflect the lines of the collection with wide shapes, hems cut manually as if they were inserted into the shoe.
Other archive motifs already revisited with the men's collection also resurface, for example the chandelier graphic that is transferred to a laminated lace dress with drops of metallic pearls.
Also along this line is the pea coat, inspired by an opera coat created by the founder, now enriched with wool fringes.
The sequins, on the other hand, are applied in the velvet version of a feathered peacoat.
The Parisian taste of wearing black with navy also returns, illuminated by the sapphire so loved by the founder.
