Well fall couture week is well and truely upon us, and as the press images start to filter through from Paris, I couldn't help but post a photo of this stunning gown from Givenchy's Fall Couture 2010 collection.
In my opinion Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci has come up trumps with this collection, which appears to have been heavily influenced by the structure of the human skeleton. However, whilst such a theme would prompt many to turn straight to a Gothic inspired collection, full of dark, heavy materials (a usual Tisci staple) Givenchy has finally presented a long awaited feminine collection, with luxurious materials such as Chantillly Lace being with stunning intricate beading making a Couture worthy show that is surprisingly wearable.
Perhaps critics should have seen this more wearable, feminine period in Givenchy's design history approaching, taking hints from THAT frilly purple gown Avatar actress Zoe Saldana graced this year's Oscar's red carpet with.
It appears that Tisci has finally moved away from the heavy Gothic undertones of his design, to present a collection that whilst showing hints of his character, through the influence of the human skeleton, is finally wearable and feminine.
