SYNOPSIS
The resort collection for 2019 is the first resort collection of Clare Waight Keller, the new
artistic director of Givenchy. The collection is a selection of looks for men and women
that combines the influence of the "Givenchy Sport" line from the 80s created
by Monsieur Hubert with Japanese aesthetics.
As quoted by Clare Weller, “He actually did a sports line at the beginning of the Eighties —
Givenchy Sport — and it was kind of interesting, because there, he really used a lot of the
graphic designs and these sort of V-shapes,” she explained. “I thought it was interesting to
mix that back into the more sophisticated tailoring part.”
The Eighties influence was overt with items like cowl-neck tops with batwing sleeves, or a
burgundy jersey zip-up jacket with a black V-shaped panel at the front and back.
Triangular details abounded, from the V-shaped cutouts on stirrup pants to the white
rubber heels on a new pointy pump design.
OBSERVATION
The designs are a combination of 80’s nostalgia with accents of romanticism, culture, and
plenty of edge.
Mixing multi-purposed pieces that range from active to evening wear, this collection is full
of seasonal statement pieces like graphic short sleeved button-ups with a tight fitted long
sleeved scuba-esque shirts underneath. Adding to the current western hype, Keller
instates her take on the ever present trend, keeping it sleek and traditional without it
feeling overwrought or overly saturated. A plethora of jackets and a silk jacket make up
the layered elements in the collection, each holding enough flexibility to either heighten
an ensemble or easily pair one down without sacrificing style. The trousers offered in this
lineup go from colourfully pleated to neoprene, fittingly stitched scuba tights.
Accessories are strong too, with ultra-slouchy boots, bucket-style crossbody bags and
even an on-trend luxurious belt bag.
The influence of Japanese culture with silk and metallic prints executed as judo sleeves
and dressing gowns is very evident.
A very crisp line extended through to the cut of the clothes, which channelled a Japanese
influence with items such as a padded black nylon trenchcoat or a black glazed silk faille
column dress with a judo-style leather belt.
The collection is everything Clare Keller believes in: from the really simple everyday to the
absolutely fantastic and fabulous.
