Givenchy Men's Spring 2012

I know that this collection is one that you either love or hate.  I don't think I need to say what side of the fence I stand on.  Riccardo is letting some light into the darkness.  This collection continues to maintain the street edge that Riccardo has brought to Givenchy menswear, but elevates it with a superb use of color and unexpected finishing details.  There is a complexity to these clothes that is usually lost in the layers of black, so it was nice to see the amount of work that really goes into these clothes.  I know it's not for everyone, but he still managed to incorporate the key trends of the season through print and color use and still managed to make it all his own.  Bravo!

Riccardo is a BEAST

I love this man!  Riccardo can do no wrong in my eyes.  This image captures everything about his Fall 2011 collections for Givenchy so perfectly!
