THE SOUL OF WIT BY GIVENCHY

Fall Winter 2012/13 Givenchy Haute Couture Collection

Paris Fashion Week 2012, Riccardo Tisci, the Creative Director of Haute Couture and Ready to Wear at Givenchy, has just presented his new Fall-Winter 2012/13 Haute Couture collection.

It consists of only 10 pieces.  In labouring to be concise*, the collection has not, nonetheless, become the least obscure: it's 10 perfectly balanced images of futuristic minimalism dipped in a Gothic dream, a trademark fantasy of Riccardo Tisci.

“ What day is day, night night, and time is time,

Were nothing but to waste night, day, and time;

Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit”   Shakespeare 'Hamlet'

* Horace
