Presented during Paris Fashion Week, this couture collection touches on classic Egyptian imagery, patterning and colors. In terms of presentation, Tisci held the Givenchy Fall/Winter 2016 show at the Carreau du Temple which he had turned into a wooden maze. While Givenchy fans were taken to NYC last season, for a fashion show that featured lingerie dressing and chic tailoring, this season sees mysticism and a burst of kaleidoscopic color. Many of the looks feature [exotic animal print, gold trimmings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-gold-collection) as well as giant eye and geode embellishments. [Lush](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-kitchen-live) fabrics such as satin, velvet and suede are used throughout the collection which contribute to its overall potent look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Egyptian-inspired Fashion:** There is an opportunity for designers to create Egyptian-themed couture collections that incorporate classic imagery, patterning, and colors. - **Exotic Animal Prints:** The use of exotic animal prints in fashion collections can bring a burst of kaleidoscopic color and mysticism. - **Luxurious Fabrics:** Designers can experiment with lush fabrics like satin, velvet, and suede to create potent and eye-catching couture collections. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore Egyptian-inspired couture collections to attract customers with a taste for exotic styling. - **Textiles:** Textile manufacturers can explore the production of fabrics that replicate the look and feel of exotic animal prints. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury goods producers can incorporate lush fabrics like satin, velvet, and suede into their product offerings for a more opulent and high-end appeal. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Chinese Luxury Brand Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zouxin.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Middle Eastern-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/act-ii-collection.md) - [Archaeology-Inspired Eco-Friendly Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aelis.md)
