Givenchy's Animal Inspiration for Fall 2009

— May 19, 2009 — Luxury
Recession? What recession? Riccardo Tisci’s Fall 2009 collection for Givenchy was a fierce spectacle. In this collection Tisci wanted to appeal to a diversity of women by incorporating luxe, long and sexy fur. There were quite a few of these pieces as Tisci drew heavily on the idea of animal sexuality for the show.

See the gallery above to take a look at Riccardo Tisci’s fashionable animal instincts.
