Givenchy Mens Fall/Winter 2011

For Givenchy Mens, Riccardo Tisci, showcased a nostalgic and gloomy collection. The main focus in this collection was the multiple furious bulldogs. Shown in different ways such as in button-up shirts, shorts, silk scarfs. The color palette was extremely  chic and very wearable for the customer. What intrigued me about the collection were the shirts. How it started at the top as plaid and further to the middle was just plain white and to the very bottom was a print of barking bulldog faces. Sneakers play an important role in Tisci's lifestyle. He used various colors and different versions. Lace-up thigh high sneaker/boots and a high sole. Lately, I've been noticing that womenswear is starting to convert to menswear. Man leggings, as they say, are gradually being socially accepted. Nonetheless, the collection in my view, was ironic and craftsmanship to the finest. I think Tisci is trying to say with this collection is that, women shouldn't be the only one to dress like their not part of a movement. Men should dress the way they want, no matter the harsh criticism. I do believe individuals should dress much more sophisticated and individualistic because no one looks "cute" when both people have the same pair of anything or "clones" as I call them.
