IT'S ONE of the most elegant fashion houses in Paris and Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy certainly made us think about what's elegant now with his couture collection for spring/summer 2008. Opening with black skirt and shirt ensembles, which flounced above the knee revealing ruffled white underskirts and buttoned high to the neck respectively, the collection was full of carefully co-ordinated contrasts; sculpted tailoring was given a soft edge with flusters of feathers streaming through neatly-cut coats in the lightest of lemon shades. Dresses came as incredibly constructed paper lanterns, boasting geometric folds, ripples and curls and which were nothing short of stunning. Colours were blocked in white, black, red, sky-blue and gold; see a beautifully encrusted and glittering PROM DRESS with matching ribbon shoes and an intricately-adorned caramel-coloured blouse with Tudor ruffs and puff sleeves. A bridal gown at the end of show was certainly given a modern edge with a utility, almost functional feel that saw its clouds of white skirting turn into a fitted jacket. (January 22 2008, PM)
