THE LATEST collection by Givenchy merges the Parisian elegance of the legendary French Maison with the Californian roots of creative director Matthew Williams.
Focusing on the nonchalance of the Left Bank, key looks from the pre-summer collection take feminine tailoring and deconstruct it to infuse an element of ease. This contrast is continued with Williams’ play of contrasting colours, in addition to contrasting garments. For instance, a tuxedo jacket is paired with a pair of distressed denim cargo trousers, and a flounced blue is paired with a jacket and pencil skirt with cargo style pockets, generating an urban-chic energy.Â

This attitude is furthered with the men’s collection, as Williams continue to bolster his exploration between heritage and modernity by mixing classic tailoring with a utilitarian allure.Â
In addition to the clothing, a focal point of the collection is accessories, centring the latest addition to the Maison’s ever-extending array of handbags with the Voyou. A loveable Parisian hobo style, the bag is introduced in a new two-tone colour way, arriving in tandem with seasonal iterations of other familiar favourites, including the Cut Out and the 4G.
