Trendology: Givenchy Haute Couture Fall 2010

Words cannot describe the beautiful pieces in this collection and it excites me that Richardo Tisci has once again topped his previous collection!

A romantic way to see death, this is what Tisci said during the presentation and I think this is a good phrase to describe the theme of this collection. The inspiration comes from "Frida Kahlo and her three obsessions: religion, sensuality, and, given the painter's lifelong battle with spinal pain, the human anatomy". Skulls and bones are seen throughout the whole collection. Even though black is not used in this collection, you can still sense the gothic vibe (most likely because of the pattern on the articles).

Strong accent of Rhine Stones, lace, beads and crystals are presented in this collection and I am completely memorized by the skeleton gown (definitely worths 1600 hours to make it). Also, it is worth to mention the detailing of the back of the dresses since Tisci wants us to focus on the spin of human beings.

This is simply one amazing Haute Couture collection. Bravo Tisci! Click here to see the complete collection and make sure you click the detail tab too.

Trendology: Givenchy Resort 2011 Women's Collection

This has to be my favorite from all the Resort Collections I have seen so far!

This is the 5th year for Riccardo Tisci to be the creative designer for Givenchy and I have to say this resort collection does not disappoint his fans at all. The pieces are still full of Riccardo's religious style and red, black, white and leopard prints have made this collection shines! The combination use of chiffon, lace and cotton is making this collection very romantic and bold. There are so many things I like from this collection and this has made me to have a high expectation for his womenswear S/S 2011 collection!

I simply can't take my eyes off them. Click here to see the complete collection.
