givenchy haute couture f/w 2011 by riccardo tisci, caroline trentini, mariacarla boscono (or a bit of her at least), daphne groeneveld, izabel goudart, kasia struss and saskia de brauw in the finale at the presentation: it was a collection tisci called “pure couture”, yet the most extraordinary feature of the Givenchy fall/winter 2011 couture collection was that all the dresses appeared long, slim and calm, in spite of the intense work put into them. With the transparency backed by silk (a likely request from clients), they would seem like delicately worked and streamlined columns of elegance. via
