Crisp Clean Givenchy S/S 2009
The house of Givenchy does not get as much publicity as say Lanvin, Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu… The Spring/Summer 2009 collection is off beat with leather, denim, and symbols of the motorcycle culture. In the midst of Hell’s Angels, I came across a particular look on the runway. Although the high waisted baggy black pants paired with a buttoned up tuxedo shirt and strappy sandals silhouette is on the brink of cliche, the little bow at the neck makes the look much more interesting. The small bow is reminiscent of a mini bolo tie. A gush of Texas blows through the buttoned up, crisp look of the modern city. Refreshing, comfortable yet formal, and more importantly, unique.
