Givenchy Haute Couture Catwalk Fashion Show FW09

Even when he’s designing haute couture Riccardo Tisci moves between strict-chic  and otherworldly, goddesslike creatures living in his fantasyworld. This season it looked like mix of Morocco, Berber tribes-people and other Middle Eastern influences. The silhouette was tailored with padded shoulders and focus at the waist, fabrics moved from velvet to leather and golden embroidery. There were hoods and veils, corsets and drapes – and it all looked very modern.
