Givenchy: From Audrey to Courtney


Oh, Hubert de G.
What a long strange trip it's been. Once upon a time, you clad the ever capering Audrey Hepburn in "Sabrina" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's." (Edith Head even won an Oscar for your efforts in 1955, but we digress.) The Kennedy ladies couldn't get enough of you either. 




Now, however, the patron saint of your label--currently helmed by the visionary Riccardo Tisci--appears to be Courtney Love, who summed up the Givenchy couture show in Paris as: "I thought the sequins were great because I'm over glitter right now. I think glitter covering everything is just kind of dead."

Wince.
