Givenchy Couture Fall 2005

Riccardo Tisci's first couture collection is a real treat. He has definitely moved in a new direction for Givenchy, and yet it's not unwearable exhibitionist couture. What's with the hair, though?

Wonderfully interesting skirt, lovely classic Givenchy-shape jacket, and a great bouclé. (Horrible shoe choice.)

Wonderfully fabricated jacket.

Quite an encrusted blouse with a unique skirt.

I like the lace treatment on this blouse. Very buttoned-up, but very feminine.
