Givenchy S/S 2016
Riccardo Tisci’s obsession with workwear continues, taking indigo blue denim to new heights

Moodboard: Riccardo Tisci understands his audience well. Givenchy menswear is the brand that musicians, artists and sportsmen turn to when they're ready to become men. This is a land of crisp tailoring, accessorised with its own baseball caps, scarves and jewellery.
Best in show: Tisci’s obsession with workwear continues, exploring indigo blue denim coats with leather trims and lean, colour blocked jeans and boiler suits. The interesting colour palette of the show was a symphony of all the shades associated with the lifespan of a bruise: blue, black, mauve and yellow.
Finishing touches: The main accessory this season according to Tisci is an over-sized silver key necklace with mini-chopper lock. The Italian fashion designer is all about dark operatic emotions, a theatre of pain, and so his images of Christ on the cross or close-ups on Christ wearing thorns were prominent, too.
