Givenchy is a brand of clothing, accessories, perfumes and cosmetics. Founded by designer Hubert de Givenchy, who retired in 1995. John Galliano succeeded him as designer, but was replaced by Alexander McQueen. In 2001, designer Julien McDonald was appointed Artistic Director for the women's line, while in 2003 Ozwald Boateng was appointed designer for the men's range. Clothing lines include haute couture as well as ready to wear fashions. The reigns for both haute couture and women's ready to wear were passed on to Riccardo Tisci in 2005 when he was named chief designer of womenswear. A graduate of London's Central Saint Martin's Academy, fellow alumni include Alexander McQueen, John Galliano of Dior women's, Stella McCartney, and Phoebe Philo of Chloe, Tisci's apparent fascination with gothic touches dark, languid dresses on sickly models for fall coutur and space age minimalism. one ready to wear show featured white-clad models drifting aimlessly around a sterile-white sphere--have drawn new attention to the brand. Reviews and output so far have been mixed and inconsistent.
The most famous patron was Audrey Hepburn in films such as How to Steal a Million and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Other famous patrons include the Kennedy family, who famously wore Givenchy clothes to the funeral of J.F.K.
