In its latest showing among the pages of the Givenchy Pre-Fall 2012 lookbook, the label shows off its up-and-coming collection through some punk-inspired imagery. Oversized denim shorts, leather pants and jackets, a grey sweatshirt with an image of a rabid rottweiler printed on it and a diverse range of skirts for men are all styled on models Simone Nobili and Willy Cartier in a manner that reflects a urban street-style culture.
Although the photos look like they were taken in cityscapes where one might be a little to intimated to wear the avant-garde styles, this youthful collection, which also has a bit of a hip schoolboy feel to it, is perfect for strutting the streets of downtown. So if you're looking to elevate your cool factor this year, then get yourself some pieces from the Givenchy Pre-Fall 2012 lookbook.
