Riccardo Tisci decided to show his Olympic spirit in his latest collection for Givenchy. The overall collection emphasized protective outerwear and very strong knitwear pieces, which have been a major trend this season, but did them with the gothic touch that we've come to expect from Givenchy. I do have to say that the romanticism and gothic influence were toned down this season, which was refreshing! I know, shocker! Riccardo experimented with a fold over idea, which was present in the skirts and pants, but also appeared as an asymmetrical detail in the velvet evening dresses near the end of the collection. The shot of bright color was also unexpected, but very refreshing for the collection. The graphic fairisle knit pieces were amazing. They actually reminded me of the global school girl collection that Balenciaga did in Fall 2007. Regardless, I thought this was another strong collection for Givenchy. Those girls will still find something they need to add to their closets for the fall season!
