Givenchy Fall 2010 Couture Collection, "The Bone Collection"

When I stumbled across the following photos on style.com of the Givenchy fall 2010 collection I was left speechless. Known as "The Bone Collection," these dresses are inspired by skeletons and glamorize the idea of death... The collection was created by Riccardo Tisci.


The full collection....

What I found interesting about this collection is the use of different materials...such as lace, fringe, zippers and crystal. All the pieces in this collection are fabulously ornate and intricate... What I also noticed about this collection was its unique color palette. When I think of death, I automatically associate the subject with dark colors, like black. However, in this collection, almost all the gowns are white, tan, and gold. The darkest color found in this collection is chocolate brown...

Here are a few of my favorites...

Natasha Poly

Magdalena Frackowiak

Malgosia Bela

Daphne Groeneveld

Karmen Pedaru

The Two New Givenchy Fragrances of 2010...

This Perfume campaign for Eaudemoiselle De Givenchy definitely caught my attention for a variety of reasons. As soon as I saw it, I had to do a double take... Why is Magdalena Frackowiak wearing a long black cloak on what appears to be a beautiful, summer day? By the way she is dressed you expect to see her walking through a cemetery...





This campaign has a very old, aristocratic feel. However, this is contrasted by the youthfulness of the model and the modern style of the perfume bottle... What are your thoughts on this campaign?


The second designer fragrance by Givenchy is called "Dance With Givenchy," and is shown below.

The model in this campaign is Kelsey Van Mook. Her pose reminds me of those old fashioned jewelery boxes with the ballerinas inside that spin and play music... However the model's outfit is very contemporary with sleek cut lines and all black. Maybe Givenchy is trying to demonstrate the past and the present coming together in these ads? Old fashioned with a contemporary twist perhaps?

What are your thoughts? Which perfume would you buy?
