Brand history
The House was created by Count Hubert James Marcel Taffin de Givenchy in 1952
In 1953, Givenchy met Audrey Hepburn and opened the doors of Parisian fashion to Hollywood: his outfits appeared in the films “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “Funny Face,” and “Sabrina.” Since then, black, red, white and marshmallow pink have been the key colors for the brand. Among the clients of the house were such stars as Marlene Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly, Duchess of Windsor Wallis Simpson, Jacqueline Kennedy.
In 2020, after a competition for young designers from LVMH, 35-year-old American designer Matthew Williams became the creative director of the house. He is married and has 3 children.
“I grew up in a seaside town in California in the 90s. Street culture was at the center of children's lives from the age of 7. Rap was the most popular music, surfing and skateboarding were important in the lives of children and their parents.”
