Following up on our preview, today we take a wider look at the pre-Spring 2013 collection from Givenchy as directed by Riccardo Tisci. Pink plays a strong role in the street inspired collection as do some vibrant and fresh digital prints that mark up everything from shirts to iPad cases and beyond. Greens of paisley form cover shorts and shirts while a solid waist coat in green (see our gallery) contrasts well against – once again – pink. Givenchy remains one of the more street-forward lines on the market today.

Riccardo Tisci continues to think forward when outfitting the modern. While many reading this here site will see the collection as non-classic, we believe this to be the fucking point. Tisci is designing for the youth looking for their own way. WWD previews their first solo resort effort (past collections were shown side by side with their women’s collection) that picks up on “childhood themes” that work playfully with military steez.

Example: “A noisy print of military decorations and swooshing World World I planes splashes across one of the line’s T-shirts, paired with a Boy Scout-flavored tartan shirt and black shorts, inspired by childhood games of toy soldiers.” Banger.

We take a quick look inside the issue #7 of HERO magazine featuring model, Arthur Gosse (the guy modeling the LEE KRISVANASSCHE Collection) in GIvenchy as well as debuting their Chinese and Japanese language editions. Nice expansion.

It’s Sunday. I’m on my way home for a long overdue roast dinner. I can’t decide what to wear. My folks haven’t seen me since I moved to the city. In the time I’ve been away I’ve become fancy, elegant, a real snappy dresser. I own a Hermes belt. It’s my favourite. I hope it’s lamb, mum always overcooks pork and with lamb you get the option of mint jelly or mint sauce. Hope dad doesn’t ask too many questions about what I’ve been up. Hopefully my outfits will reassure him that I’m moving up in the world. Look at my belt. I’m going places.

The Snobettes caught these pin-up Givenchy sandals back at the beginning of the month. While we and the rest of the blogs catch up, we point you in their direction for all things women’s and fashion. Tell them we sent you.

For now, we stand strong on top of the pin-ups, that for some reason have their bare sides black barred on the sandals. Not a very Givenchy way of doing things, but we’ll live. Pick up a stack and leave them around for guests to walk and wear in your home. Colette still has them. Check your prized Givenchy retailer for some.

And yeah, these flip-flops are the only pair that you should consider.

We could stop simply at the embroidered rottweiler t-shirt and our story would be complete…

…but alas, not everyone needs a dog on their chest. For this reason, we share our favorite t-shirts for Spring 2012, from Givenchy. While hip-hop has put the focus on the brand over the last 24 months, others not influenced by such musical personas will discover unique and proper fit t-shirts and sweatshirts with printed graphics unlike others on the market. Birds and robots against nude women – all adorned in that spring feathering theme – will work for anyone that tries. The only thing that may hold you back is the pricepoint. Riccardi has them all.

Givenchy delivers this runway button down from their Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Part of the “Birds of Paradise” collection, the shoulder get printed/painted with a kaleidoscope like feathers that pull their proper fitted white shirt into new territory. At $680, this is not aspirational-wear. This is a modern movement in menswear into a territory that most should certainly consider.”Total image commitment.” Riccardi has them.

Let’s be honest about it: the current king of street fashion, and fuck it, we’ll throw streetwear into the fold, is Givenchy.

When two of the biggest names in modern music position Givenchy along with themselves on dueling totems inside sold-out arenas, it may a bit to the masses. But the truth is more discernible. Designer Riccardo Tisci and his team pattern their looks with distinct fits and textiles while throwing in graphics and patterns that seem to live in their own world – almost individual.

Go ahead and hate if you want; the kids aren’t listening.

Fans of Givenchy will enjoy this dark bird motif t-shirt from the brand. Tisci does it right again with this shirt. The  Givenchy Rottweiler not too long ago caused a stir. This may do the same. The t-shirt is limited to the Japanese market. Proxy on…

To paraphrase a great scholar, this is some givenchy worth getting raunchy for. Leather sleeves are a thing at the moment, but don’t let that put you off. This is a half recommendation, as we think this jumper’s good but not great. We’re no designers but we can’t help but think that this would’ve been better off as a knitted baseball jacket. But that’s just us nitpicking. (Ssense)
