Is #RiccardoTisci, #designer of some of the most assertive, even threatening, #menswear in the world, mellowing? “I’ve been in a really good place,” he allowed backstage, after a #Spring2017 #Givenchy show that, while peopled with warrior-like models, hulking in combat gear, somehow sounded a note of affection rather than aggression.
It was long due. Givenchy’s menswear has been dark and foreboding for many a season: Last Spring #Tisci erected his own prison; Fall was a vipers’ den. Emblematic of fashion? You hope not. Today’s collection was “much more spiritual,” allowed Tisci. “And happy! Images of sunshine!” He sounded as surprised as we were. #KendallJenner
