From this inspiration, the designer created a mini collection with a touch of whimsy. The collection is highlighted by the pieces such as the ‘Leighton’ tunic in 2D star-print lace, and the ‘Taylor’ top that flaunts the brand’s signature brocade, with puffed sleeves and a peplum hem.

Love street art? Givenchy premiered pieces from its Spring 2020 pre-collection in collaboration with guest graffiti artist Chito based in Mexico. The artist was invited onboard by Creative Director Matthew M. Williams who is both a friend and a fan. Together, the two creatives worked on pieces like t-shirts and jackets with airbrush graphics of characters like a cartoon dog. “Coming from creating unique pieces with airbrushed embellishments on rare objects and garments, and now being able to bring them to the world is something special in itself,” said Chito. “Only Givenchy would be able to make that happen.”
