Yes, the title of this is a Lady Gaga song reference. Not that I’m a big fan, but the song applies to my initial thoughts on seeing this collection.
Something about this Givenchy collection reminds me of a super fashionable, yet wealthy super villain. Ya know, with the witty remarks, and the sly personality that although you hate them since they’re the villain, they’re your favorite villain. The villain with a back story. Like the joker.
Like most Givenchy collections, dark, almost sinister aspects to this collection were key. Pinstripes, evil reds, and the almost trademark Givenchy symmetry in the tribal patterns.
Models were adorned with the FKA Twigs styled baby hair sculpting pulled from the 90’s and some were even made up in dark lipstick, eye shadows, costumed makeup, and sewn lips…yes, sewn lips. Another reason to redirect my thoughts to super villains.
This collection was absolutely beautiful in the modern Adams Family sense, and as always Sebastian Suhl, Givenchy’s CEO does a beautiful job of keeping Givenchy’s dark spirit that we all love.
