Givenchy Sunglasses

Parisian Esprit in Every Creation

"I'm so reckless when I rock my Givenchy dress",

the American singer Beyoncé sings in her song "Formation" and is by no means telling lies. The lightheartedness in Givenchy fabrics is reflected in their eye-catching and daring gowns, that they have presented annually since 2012 at the infamous Met Gala.

Très chic, très français - this is how the Givenchy Collections have been described for generations. Narrow silhouettes, a clear line and the expression of elegance and femininity are embodied in Givenchy's designs. Givenchy sunglasses are also characterized by the first-class style of the brand, which is receiving tremendous popularity worldwide. The iconic Givenchy elements, which lend each wearer a classy look, are saturated colours, the use of various materials and contrasting nuances - resulting in an urban blend of Parisian street style and luxurious elegance.

History

Hubert James Taffin de Givenchy was born into an aristocratic family in the French town of Beauvais in 1927. The nobility title was awarded to the paternal side of the family in the 18th century. Givenchy's father died of a severe flu when Hubert was three years old and with his older brother he grew up with his mother and grandmother. From his mother, Givenchy inherited an interest in fabrics and cuts. His love of luxury and his flair for fashion, trends and fabrics was not surprising. As a ten-year-old, Hubert de Givenchy became enthusiastic about the fashion metropolis at the 1937 Paris World's Fair, setting his professional career almost in stone.

Inspired by the fashion and potential in France's capital, young Givenchy left his hometown at the early age of seventeen to submit his sketches to renowned designers and gain a foothold in one of the hippest fashion metropolises. He simultaneously took up his studies at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After being rejected by the studio of his great role model Cristóbal Balenciaga, he began as an apprentice with Jacques Fath who, alongside Christian Dior and Pierre Balmain, was one of the most influential haute couture designers in the post-war era. In the following years, he learned the art of couturiers from great fashion designers such as Robert Piguet and Lucien Lelong and the legendary Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli, where he was hired as artistic director and where he soon made a name for himself in the city of love.

When he was only 25, he opened his first couture studio, the Maison Givenchy. As he lacked the money to buy expensive fabrics, his debut collection was made of linen and less expensive cotton. Lightweight, floor-length skirts, slim trousers, fine sweaters and elegant, white blouses were among his fashion repertoire. One of the blouses bears the name Bettina Blouse, named after the well-known model Bettina Graziani.

After his debut, he met his idol and later mentor, the Spanish couturier Cristóbal Balenciaga and presented him his classic, purist designs. It was the beginning of a long-standing friendship that was underpinned by the move of the Givenchy Atelier to the same street as the Balenciaga headquarters.

With the presentation of his first luxury ready-to-wear-line for women, the name Givenchy was on everyone's lips. His elegant jewels soon hung in the dressing rooms of Jackie Kennedy, Gloria Guinness and Grace Kelly. The presentation of the first loose-fitting sack dresses, a joint idea by Givenchy and Balenciaga, finally made Hubert de Givenchy one of the most influential and innovative designers of his time. At the end of the 60’s he also launched his first men's collection, Gentleman Givenchy.

In 1988, the label was sold to Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessey (LVMH) and Hubert de Givenchy retired seven years later. His successors included several famous designers such as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Julien MacDonald, but who, with their designs, did not manage to be eye to eye with the fashion designer Givenchy. On the contrary, in the designs Givenchy saw neither beauty nor elegance, which constituted the main components of his work. Only when the Italian designer, Riccardo Tisci, took over the post as designer at Givenchy, did the fashion house get back on track. With Rottweiler prints and Gothic romanticism, the image of the Paris label was completely renewed. Although this style probably did not match that of the founder, the fashion house sold their garments like never before. Under Tisci’s twelve years' supervision, 65 additional stores were opened worldwide.

In the spring of 2017, Riccardo Tisci resigned his management, and who in the meantime is under contract with trench coat label Burberry, Clare Waight Keller became the new head designer of the Givenchy brand. Waight has given the brand a new face, is the first woman at the top of the luxury brand and convinces with graphic designs and black and white campaigns. From haute couture to ready-to-wear collections, Givenchy now stands for light tones, straight lines, girlish simplicity and elegance.

The Couturier of Stars and Starlets

Hubert de Givenchy was considered the Parisian couturier of the finest women of his time. Actress Audrey Hepburn with whom Givenchy had a close friendship, became his muse. With the "little black dress", which Givenchy designed for Hepburn's film classic "Breakfast at Tiffany's", the designer made his final breakthrough. Although Hubert de Givenchy is considered the creator of the "little black dress", he preferred mostly bright colours and colourful combinations for his collections.

Other celebrity customers include music stars such as Madonna, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. For the Beyoncé and Jay-Z on-the-run Tour II this year, Clare Waight Keller designed the complete Givenchy stage costumes for the celebrity couple.

The label is especially popular when it comes to one of the most important days for celebrity ladies. Kim Kardashian, Lara Stone, Christina Ricci and Meghan Markle had their wedding dresses designed by Givenchy. Their presence in the public eye was given accordingly and the wedding dresses as a topic of conversation almost impossible to ignore.

In addition to various clothing collections, celebrities from a wide range of industries are also spellbound by Givenchy sunglasses. A big fan of sunglasses by Givenchy, for example, is Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge and wife of Prince William.
