Givenchy Men: Spring/Summer 2011-2012

Look 2
From the rough, powerful Rottweiler heads of the Fall/Winter 2010-2011 Collection, Riccardo Tisci moves towards a softer, romanticized collection, aptly named the “Birds of Paradise” collection. But don’t let the flowers and birds trick you, by using straight lines, bold print and muscular models this is very much a men’s collection.

Instead of presenting something inspired by spring, it shows what the essence of what springtime is: Carefree, Bold and Fresh. This is accomplished by using definite lines, angles and including skirts, Bermuda shorts and white accessories (including silver horned ear plugs) and sandals. The colour palate of moss, aqua green, and white used in the suits provide a refreshing breakaway from the overwhelming but beautiful prints in orange, violet, pink and ivory that are painted, printed or embroidered.  

This collection brings together, in perfect harmony theatrics and simplicity that shows off the male form rather then suppressing it under flowers.
