Founded by the charismatic Hubert de Givenchy in 1952, the house quickly established itself as a symbol of effortless elegance, with Audrey Hepburn serving as the epitome of this aesthetic. Following the retirement of its founder in 1995, John Galliano took the helm of the house, followed by the young Alexander McQueen, who created his debut haute couture collection for Givenchy. More recently, Italian designer Riccardo Tisci brought the brand into a resolutely contemporary direction, following his appointment in 2005. He was succeeded by Clare Waight Keller and American designer Matthew M. Williams.

This comprehensive publication, the sole monograph in print on the house of Givenchy, offers a detailed history of the fashion house, followed by an exploration of its collections. The collections are presented chronologically, with each new era beginning with a brief overview and biography of the new designer. Individual collections are introduced with concise texts that highlight their influences and key features, accompanied by carefully selected catwalk images. A comprehensive reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.

Published in collaboration with the renowned fashion house, this publication stands as the ninth in a series of high-end, clothbound books that provide an unparalleled overview of the collections of the world's top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.
