The Technology Obsessed Warrior: Givenchy Spring/Summer 2014

I have to be honest, I haven't been as on top of men's fashion shows. It's quite unfortunately actually, because I've viewed some of the collections and to have not seen them on the catwalk is devastating. But fortunately for us, we have technology!

So, if you may have noticed, I love Givenchy. Like, utterly love everything about the design house. It's classic, but so eclectic. And wearable. One day, and hopefully soon, I want to style a shoot that is strictly Givenchy...yes. Lol. Anyway, back to the fashion show. I loved the collection. Riccardo does a great job at integrating an idea into wearable, artistic, fashion which is something that I feel a lot of designers attempt but don't quite accomplish. For his Spring/Summer 2014 collection, we are given tribal, techie, fantasy. The colors are very vivid and lay on a simple backdrop. And we have some major color blocking. We also see the resurgence of women capturing the oversized fashion. In this case, with the oversized, structured blazer. Love! From the coats and sweaters, to the leggings and collared shirts, everything is perfect! So give me feedback. What do you think of the collection? Do you think it's too much or just enough? Until next time, stay fashionable! Xx

So like I said, I've been a terrible person and haven't posted in a while. I hope this makes up for it! I did manage to check a few tweets here and there to see what people were saying about Givenchy, and let me just say that it wasn't the best. While some did love the collection, others? Not so much. But alas, I'm a Givenchy fan...even though I own not a single piece. Maybe one day

First off, can we just talk about the major Disney reference. Bambi? Bambi?! Like the happy, little deer Bambi. Loved it. Also, we had a focus on the femininity of the woman with this collection. And if that was hinted at by the lace pieces, floral prints, and snakeskin boats then...There was an element of grunge still there, however. With the oversized sweatshirts and leather.

For me, I thought the collection was great. It showed a side of Givenchy that was new to me. But then again, I only started paying attention to Givenchy about a year ago so...yeah. Awkward. Anyway, I loved it. I loved the new direction and everything about it. So yeah, that's about it. Again, sorry about the neglect. Just so many things have been going on *tear* but I'm back now. So until next time, stay fashionable. Xx

In the meantime, please enjoy this short clip. :)

Givenchy. Gi-ven-chy.

Men's Fashion Week: Givenchy

Okay, so I'm biased. I love Givenchy and this year's men's collection is no different. At all! Black. That's basically all that needs to be said about this collection. Givenchy is known for being, well, dark with graphics that appeal to the younger crowd, myself included. But this year, Mr. Tisci brought a more couture vibe to the men. Fabrics were definitely involved this time around, with cashmere sweaters, velvet, and leather. I also loved the signature "Amerika" tag that was used to express his love for the country, just in a very dark way. There were moments of eery statues, images of sadness, dark flowers, and the American flag. I also loved the usage of zippers in his collection. Having them on both sides of the shirt was new and worked very well. Lastly, the stitched jackets were amazing. They gave off a "trapped" vibe and were sport-like in nature. Overall, I loved the collection. Givenchy took a different approach but I think it worked very well. I can't wait to see what else will follow this brilliant work! Click here to check out the entire collection!
