Givenchy Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2009/2010

Out of all of the fashion shows that we've seen in 2009, few exemplified the culmination of a designer's work more than Givenchy Haute Couture Fall 2009/2010.  Ricardo Tisci has had a very difficult road to climb while he's been working at that house of Givenchy.  His initial collection for the house were not well received at all.  Since that initial collection, he's managed to create a mini empire, building upon the hertiage of the house, while moving it forward into a new direction.  No other collection exemplified that more than the Haute Couture collection for Fall 2009.  Ricardo managed to keep to the traditions of Haute Couture while placing his official stamp onto all of the elements that we expect from Givenchy.  I personally see this collection as a great moment in the evolution of a house with a long history.  It was the moment where this house was able to evolve to another plane.
