Paris Fashion Week - Givenchy Alta Costura SS 2009

Lily Donaldson en la pasada final del desfile de Givenchy Houte Couture Spring 2009

Givenchy. Guests entered the gothic Couvent des Cordeliers for Riccardo Tisci's Givenchy show--and were greeted by a runway strewn with rose petals and a lovely scent in the air (which wasn't coming from the faux fleurs). He began with pale beige, short body-con dresses with exaggerated shoulders, followed by a series of hooded dresses that evoked Tisci's gothic sensibilities. A series of delicate, draped chiffon dresses in hues of salmon, pale apple green, lichen and rose and a couple of floral numbers followed suit. Beneath the fragile fabrics there was a bandaging element that brought to mind Tisci's tough chicks of seasons past. A standout was the finale gown worn by Lily Donaldson--a draped black silk jersey worn with a bolero of black silk organza and stretch tulle, embroidered with black lace, jet beads, and hand-cut metallic 3-dimensional discs. Lou Doillon, a friend and fan of the designer's, gushed appropriately. "I loved the show and I'm always amazed by the work that he does. I like the elements that are gothic, mysterious and dreamy, so I really loved all those veils."
