Givenchy Catwalk: The Complete Collections

A sweeping celebration of more than 70 years of Givenchy's classic glamour, from founder Hubert de Givenchy to John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Riccardo Tisci, Clare Waight Keller (the house's first female artistic director) and Matthew M. Williams.

The book opens with a concise history of the house, founded in 1952 and long linked to Hubert de Givenchy's friend and muse Audrey Hepburn. Each era is introduced with an overview and designer biography, and every collection with a short text on its influences, illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. Patrons over the decades have included Jacqueline Kennedy, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Beyoncé, Cate Blanchett and Lady Gaga.
