Fab Read: Italian Fashion Now
I've never seen a more polished-at-all-times group of people than Italians. I can always spot Italian tourists thanks to their spot-on style. Of course, Prada, Giorgio Armani, Missoni, Gianni Versace, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana are hugely responsible for that.
Fab Ad: Givenchy Fall/Winter '09
Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci feels "It’s important to give reality to women," hence why he's decided to take a more realistic approach to his Fall/Winter '09 ad campaign. "I wanted to give this feeling of going from a studio to reality." To be precise, this reality is set inside a gilded bedroom in the Château de Ferrières.
2009 Spring Couture: Givenchy
Riccardo Tisci always brings raw sexuality to the runway. But I'm not talking Victoria's Secret sexy, I'm talking S&M sexy. For Spring couture, the designer continued to play with bold cuts, but he also incorporated sweet fabrics; that contradictory fusion is sure to fly off the racks.
Guess the Mastermind Behind the House
You know the names — Lanvin, Burberry, Marni, Balmain — but do you know the designer behind them? While with some brands, like Prada, it's obvious who the creative director is, it's not so obvious for some other greats. New blood is appointed when the original founder has passed on or simply moved on.
Madonna Gets Sticky and Sweet
We revealed sketches of Madonna's Sticky and Sweet tour costumes, and now that the tour is underway, let's see them come to life. The list of designers who worked on the singer's wardrobe and accessories includes Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci, Tom Ford, Miu Miu, Stella McCartney, Moschino, Roberto Cavalli, Jeremy Scott, and Yves Saint Laurent.

Fall 2007 Couture: Givenchy
Chubby furs, neutral colors, and whirls of fabric and feathers - that's what Givenchy couture is made of.
As a relatively young designer compared to the others who helm the great French couture houses of Dior and Chanel, Riccardo Tisci is still finding himself within the bounds of the House of Givenchy legacy.

FABTV: Carine Roitfeld Brings Chic to CNN
Karl Lagerfeld loves Carine Roitfeld's coquettish attitude. Tom Ford still remembers an exceptionally fashionable outfit she wore almost a decade ago. Riccardo Tisci credits her for his success.
2009 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Givenchy
No matter what Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci serves up, it's always bound to be ahead of the curve. His latest Fall '09 collection, however, is also simultaneously beautiful, thanks to feather-infested gowns and romantic draping. But it wouldn't be Givenchy if it didn't throw together a mumbo jumbo of anomalies: studs and feathers, sheer and draping, asymmetry and power suits.
The Look For Less: Givenchy Multi-Layer Chain Necklace
Her Madge-esty looked fittingly regal and gothic when she recently donned Givenchy's multi-layer chain necklace from his Fall collection. Something about the combination of all-black and heavy Mr. T-style chains is seriously lethal, in a good way. We can thank the brand's designer Riccardo Tisci for injecting feminine goth into our closets.
