March 12, 2018I’m a bit of a fashionista (in my mind… I can’t afford designer duds.) I also LOVE cultural history…
So yes, I absolutely think Hubert de Givenchy’s death is notable.
The man was a LEGEND.
Hubert de Givenchy, the aristocratic French fashion designer famous for the ‘Little black dress’ and styling Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy, has died aged 91.
Givenchy set the template for ladylike chic in the 1950s and 1960s, and his restrained style still informs the way the Queen and older American and Chinese socialites dress.
His partner, the former haute couture designer Philippe Venet, announced his death through the Givenchy fashion house, saying he had died in his sleep on Saturday. The pair lived in a Renaissance chateau near Paris.
He leaves behind an unparalleled legacy in the fashion world.
…so while you may not know his name… you’ve certainly seen his work:
Does it get ANY more glamorous?
Fun fact about me: I wear dresses every day… and I’d KILL to get my hands on a Givenchy someday.
Givenchy was a designer from fashion’s heyday… a golden era were dresses were meant to make women look beautiful, glamorous, feminine…
Now “designers” have models walking down runways wearing inflatable pools. Yes. Really.
The fashion world has lost a true visionary.
