Couture season! Givenchy fall/winter 2011 2012

Are 10  pieces enough for a couture show? Yes, according to Mr. Tisci, who this season takes us on a journey inspired by the bird of paradise (both a flower and an actual bird).

These floor length gowns are extremely elaborated. Pearls give them a tridimensional look; ostrich feathers are delicately interlaced in the bodice. The embroidery is complexe but at the same time so delicate. White is predominant. A caramel hue makes its debut in the last piece, a revealing evening dress completed by a floor length fringed clutch.
Let me tell you: ten pieces are enough for a couture show, if that's the level of mastery. Bravo, Mr. Tisci.
