Hubert de Givenchy's legendary ascent to the famous couturier began in 1952 when he opened the doors of his eponymous Parisian couture house. Born from aristocratic roots, Givenchy had an appreciation for tradition and a tendency for irreverence. Duality was his muse, and his first collection was evidence of this. His "Séparables" invented both the separation of women and the "casual chic" movement, heralding the arrival of a new era of liberated elegance. More: Information about the Givenchy brand
