The couture collection made its debut in Paris and captivated the attention from fashion lovers everywhere, gathering high reviews. Reviews conclude that the collection is representative of how people will want to dress this year. The Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 2018 collection features a range from structured pieces to lace dresses and satin bottoms. Waight Keller makes room for the collection to be gender-neutral with garments that will wrap well around any silhouette. The Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 2018 collection makes a powerful statement by reinventing power dressing. There is not a single suit included in the new collection and it initiates the new era of empowerment and definition of power dressing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gender-neutral Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to create garments that can cater to any silhouette and challenge traditional gender norms. - **Empowerment Through Fashion:** Opportunity to redefine power dressing and create collections that make a bold statement about personal empowerment. - **Reinventing Couture:** Opportunity to push the boundaries of couture fashion by incorporating new design elements and styles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Designers can explore innovative ways to create gender-neutral garments and redefine power dressing. - **Luxury Fashion:** Luxury fashion brands can leverage the trend of empowerment through fashion to create high-end collections that make a bold statement. - **Couture Fashion:** Couture designers can embrace reinvention by incorporating new design elements and styles into their collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Ultra-Sophisticated Modern Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-waight-keller.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [High-End Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwood-bridal-couture.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Designer Fashion Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-c-springsummer-2025.md) - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md)
