Sea Wolf

Givenchy Couture SS07 was watery, modern, and beautiful. Riccardo Tisci was said to be inspired by his hometown of Taranto, a seaport in Puglia, and “the metamorphosis of sailors into mermaids," which one could obviously see in his outfits. The juxtaposition of beautifully structured jackets and nautically themed buttons and belts, with simply amazing dresses and flowing trains, told his story while producing some gorgeous clothes. In some of the outfits you could actually see the dissolution of structure and sailor into freedom and mermaid (see Coco in a mustard strapless gown). Although there were some faults, like those strange, Balenciaga-esque hats in the beginning, or those bizarre printed suits (which could actually look good if worn piece by piece, and by the right person), I really liked it.
