Clare Waight Keller's couture collection for Givenchy was filled with color, flourish and huge hats.
Clare Waight Keller called her collection for Givenchy a love letter. As she delved into the design process for spring, she thought of the correspondence between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West, and imagined as well her own creative love letter to house founder Hubert de Givenchy. Which prompted thoughts of gardens — those Sackville-West designed at Sissinghurst, which Waight Keller described as “one of the most romantic places in England,” and Givenchy’s Clos Fiorentina.
Just as love letters often display their authors’ most extravagant turns of phrase, Waight Keller’s runway offered ample visual effusiveness. Her show space was simply appointed, if you consider simple the sight of classical musicians suspended in mid-air, in chairs attached to support poles. The idea, she said post-show, was to create an “air of mystery — the floatingness…the feeling, the emotion that you get through the music. And so that sort of isolation — not one of them had a conductor.
Perhaps Waight Keller intended that e pluribus unum musical approach to reflect the structure of a collection filled with multiple ideas running concurrently. For starters, she countered the euphoria with chic new renditions of her signature tailored calm.
