Givenchy is set to introduce its iconic Antigona’s next-gen iteration in Pre-Fall 2020, but the new line will be available as soon as this month. Alluding to its supple, second-skin sensuality in smooth calfskin, the Antigona Soft is the slouchy, insouciant counterpoint to the sleek, architectural construction of its best-selling predecessor. While it echoes the relaxed elegance of artistic director Clare Waight Keller’s ready-to-wear offerings for the next season, it retains the original’s distinctive geometry and triangular patch. A generous volume, an inner pocket for keeping important cards, side straps with turn-lock fastenings to create a compact silhouette, plus a three-way versatility of wear takes it from day bag to weekender effortlessly.
