Through decades of stylish designs, Givenchy has assembled quite the cast of fans from classic film and style icons like Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Wallis Simpson Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn to modern stars like Cate Blanchett, Julia Roberts, Emma Stone and Rooney Mara.
Givenchy’s most celebrated muse, Audrey Hepburn once said, “His are the only clothes in which I am myself. He is far more than a couturier, he is a creator of personality.”
Since retiring in 1995, the label has only gotten strong under the direction of some of the fashion industry’s more exciting designers, like John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Riccardo Tisci. The label is currently helmed by its first ever female creative director, Clare Waight Keller.
