Summer is definitely in the house!!!! When Harper’s decided to hire Tommy Ton, I thought it was a magical and genius idea. Having been a huge fan of his blog since it’s inception, and his detail heavy style of photographing, and also having perused Harper’s since I can remember, I instantly saw the potential. Here is yet another great editorial from Ton as he photographs models Ashley Smith and Camille Rowe(...) Read More about Tommy Ton for May 2012 Harpers Bazaar (43 words)

The opening sound of galloping horses was no understatement for what was to come at Givenchy’s  F/W 2012 show in Paris. Designed by Riccardo Tisci, the collection featured an inventive mix of feminine and masculine pieces. As the models trotted down the runway in big disc earrings and leather riding boots you couldn’t help but notice the reference to Victorian riding costumes. The jackets reflected the precision of traditional riding attire, with their bustled panels and elaborate seaming. Tisci continuously played with contrasting textiles and colors. Including panels of pony skin juxtaposed against leather and wool. Bright color blocked mink jackets of red, black and natural browns definitely stood out amongst the rest. For the evening look the collection turned very feminine, with lingerie inspired dresses full of  vibrant color combinations that gave the soft satin texture a strong energy.

If this is Ricardo Tisci’s last collection for Givenchy, before moving to Dior, well than he is making his exit with a bang. The collection felt like a very new kind of streetwear, a super hard but still ultra feminine, luxury streetwear. The graphics really lightened up the some seriously femme fatale looks. I loved the layered organza and fur (perhaps it was velour) duets.

Laces, pearls, feathers, hairs and silk, a majestic feeling is represented for the Givenchy 2010 Paris Couture collection designed by Riccardo Tisci. This Haute-couture was inspired by Frida Kahlo and her three obsessions: religion, sensuality, and, given the painter’s lifelong battle with spinal pain, the human anatomy…  (...)

I am completely digging these detail shots from the Givenchy Fall 09 Couture runway. Im used to squinting at runway photos in attempts of getting a better reading of the garment and end up still imagining half the details. It is not often enough we get to see detail shots from the runways. Maybe this is because its not every runway or even every season that there is something nearly as striking as this Givenchy Collection but there is no doubt the concept and accessories of the Fall 09 Givenchy Couture Collection called for this kind of attention. For Fall Ricardo Tisci was inspired by two contrasting worlds, that of David Bowie and the eccentric Moroccan culture, which fused together in a very powerful way on the runway. The bold hardware rocks my world! There is also a great interview of Ricardo Tisci by Harriet Mays Powell for NY Magazine to watch below.

“We wanted to work together so that it was a mixture of our styles, we’ve always appreciated each others aesthetic so we thought it would be quite a fun idea to combine the two,” Katie
“Our September theme was excess. I think working together, we felt more confident to pull off slightly more outlandish styling ideas – like mono-brows. I’m sure some people will love them and some people will hate them. …we love them!!” Karen
