Givenchy

1952, Paris, France. Givenchy was founded by Hubert James Givenchy in 1952. The same year, the founder produced a selection that left an unforgettable mark in the history of fashion. Their designs show the simplicity and architectural lines, which earned the company great acclaim. Givenchy’s style is the signature of the founder, Hubert de Givenchy, who began his haute couture house in the early 1950s. Born in 1927, Hubert de Givenchy created his first-ever shirtdress, its evolution towards the coming years would remain iconic.

A renowned actress, Audrey Hepburn, collaborated with him to help create a new style that would later revolutionalize the term “elegance”. Following the long history, spanning over 40 years, the founder retired in 1995. Hubert de Givenchy was succeeded by a few brilliant creative masters in the fashion world: Clare Waight Keller, Riccardo Tisci, Julien MacDonald, Alexander McQueen, and John Galliano. Recently, in 2018, Clare Waight Keller designed the gown of Ms. Meghan Markle that she wore to the Royal Wedding. In June of 2020, the brand embarked on a new journey with Matthew M. Williams, who became appointed as the Creative Director of men’s and women’s collections.
