Givenchy Spring/Summer 2020Clare Waight Keller, at Givenchy, proved once more that couture suits her creativity better than ready-to-wear: there is a focus and a strength that is missing elsewhere.
What’s more, the idea of proposing modesty as a virtue in our most blatant of times almost feels disruptive.
And yet the hourglass silhouette, so integral to the codes of the house, was still there, as idealised as ever.
After all, women wearing couture do not live in ivory towers anymore, even when decked in something so heavily linked to a long-lost past.
As Jean-Paul Gaultier remembered clearly as he left the scene for good, with a laugh: fashion changes constantly.
