Ever since Audrey Hepburn stood outside Tiffany's in a little black dress Givenchy has been the last word in elegant couture. The clean, sweeping lines and classic, feminine silhouettes have beguiled women from jackie Kennedy to the Duchess of Sussex , all drawn by the romanticism and sophistication of a Givenchy ensemble. More sculptor than designer, Hubert de Givenchy created a house that is utterly timeless.

This exquisitely illustrated book explores the story behind the brand, from its creation in 1952 tothe modern yet timeless designs of recent years. Through a carefully curated collection of finished designs, close-up details and key moments, this book shines a light on the dazzling world of Givenchy.
