MOON RIVER Givenchy

- —MY

Clare Waight Keller takes her second bow for Givenchy couture — a strong, sculptural approach that reinterpre­ts the house archives and signatures for the modern customer. A collection that feels especially timely because the founder, Hubert de Givenchy, died earlier this year at the age of 91. It was an elegant lineup of broad-shouldered gowns, feather embroidere­d silks, masculine meets feminine tailoring and silver spackle done up in the shape of armor — almost all, no doubt, paying homage to the namesake designer’s legacy in some archival reference or another. From Audrey Hepburn to Meghan Markle (whose wedding dress design by Waight Keller was sparked by a 1964 Vogue photograph of a Givenchy dress), the house muse lives on.
