Showcased the La Défense Arena earlier this week, creative director Matthew M. Williams presented his second collection for Givenchy. Military coded, yet opulent with beaded textures throughout the silhouettes; it was a hybrid of “formal and informal” in the runway presentation – designing a collaboration of the ethos of Hubert de Givenchy and Williams’ adoration for contemporary American style.

Sensibility was the greatest impact on the collection; couture was made functional through knee-high clog boots and peplumed corsetry. Vivid statements and dynamic tailoring were the true overhauls for the fall/winter show, adding layers to Williams’ evolution of streetwear at the maison. And V gets a closer look at the details.
