Hubert de Givenchy -Founder of Givenchy Dies at 91, Life & Legacy

Hubert de Givenchy

Another icon is gone. Fashion visionary, Vale Hubert de Givenchy noted for dressing some of the world’s most famous women; passed away at age 91. Hubert’s designs were widely celebrated for not only their sophistication, but divine elegance.

Hubert de Givenchy

The French luxury couture designer was born in 1927. In future years, the couturier would come to redefine the modern woman’s form of attire. Givenchy often referred to himself as “the eternal apprentice.” However, his masterful creations since the start of his fashion house in 1952; clearly demonstrated his true skill, talents and pure genius.

Furthermore, Givenchy truly understood the female form. His luxe and dazzling frocks always fit a woman’s body in the most desirable as well as alluring way. His motto? Hubert once said, “The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.”

This understanding led to Givenchy being highly sought after by the Hollywood elite. As a result, Hubert dressed some of the most influential women of the 20th century. Ladies of Givenchy included Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy and Grace Kelly. Men too experienced the Givenchy treatment, such as the legendary David Bowie.

Hepburn who wore Givenchy couture in some of her biggest roles is quoted as stating, “His clothes are the only clothes in which I am completely myself. He is far more than a couturier, he is a creator of personality… I’m as dependent on Givenchy as some Americans are on their psychiatrist.” Her sentiments sum up what numerous starlets, models and women around the world have felt in Hubert’s pieces.

To this day, women around the world keep a LBD in their wardrobes. The LBD, or Little Black Dress is a classic, iconic garment that never goes out of style. Seasons come and go. Trends see the light of day then quickly vanish, but the little black dress continues to command the spotlight.

Who of us can forget actress, Audrey Hepburn’s black dress from Breakfast at Tiffany’s? The actress also can be seen in Givenchy designs in her films Sabrina and Funny Face. Moreover, in 1954 Audrey put down Hubert in her contracts as the designer who would design all of her film costumes. Ultimately, the move that sealed designer and muse as lifelong friends and workmates.

Hubert de Givenchy

Even though Hubert de Givenchy made the LBD (little black dress) look so easy to pull off, he made it starkly clear it is not. In regards to the look Givenchy states, “The little black dress is the thing to realize, because you have to keep it simple.” Listen to him fashion lovers, less can be oh so more.

Besides his beautiful gowns Hubert also changed how the fashion world viewed separates. A blouse, jacket, skirt, or trouser could produce a plethora of stylish combinations. Limitless outfit choices instead of one. His concept of mixing and matching separates truly revolutionized the industry.

Hubert de Givenchy – Letter From Our Editor

Hello Readers,

Like you, I am also deeply saddened by this unfortunate news regarding the great Hubert de Givenchy. Growing up, his designs were one of the first to make me want to shed my Tomboy ways and hop into a black dress!

I also remember fondly talking about the glamorous old Hollywood with my grandmother. Not just the bright lights, triple threat talent or fascinating productions; but the fashion! The undeniable breath-taking couture that was chic, high-end, mesmerizing yet sexy all in one.

It was my grandmother as well as my mother that exposed me to a few classic films that left me wishing I was old enough to have a credit card. Since if I had had one, a lot of the available funds would of went to Givenchy couture. Therefore, maybe it was a good idea that could not qualify (LOL).

Being a fan of the fashion house, I was moved to write this feature. Not just to tell the impact that Givenchy had on me, but the impact He and his label left on the world. Truly an industry leader that will be missed. Below you will find a complilation of a few of my favorite Givenchy moments of all time. Thank you for taking time out to read this post and I hope you enjoy the photos (Note: Modern looks by John Galliano and Alexander McQueen).

Sincerely,

Arianne XOXO

Hubert de Givenchy – Final Words to Live By

Hubert de Givenchy

“Luxury is in each detail.”

“All a woman needs to be chic is a raincoat, two suits, a pair of trousers and a cashmere sweater.”

“Hair style is the final tip-off whether or not a woman really knows herself.”

“To have style is to have a feeling for what is currently fashionable, and still to simultaneously remain true to oneself.”

Beyonce Wears Perfect Little Black Dress

perfect little black dress 2

Well alright, alright, alright! The woman that coined the phrase “flawless” is surely looking like that and more! The mommy-to-be of twins is not allowing her pregnancy change up her Sasha Fierce style. While most expectant ladies would be turning to sweats and oversized dresses, the Queen of the Hive is boldly showcasing her bump. We spotted Beyonce in the perfect little black dress and she is absolutely fabulous.

Beyonce Wears Perfect Little Black Dress

There are some fashions that should be found in every woman’s closet and one is the perfect little black dress. That is because it does not matter the season a LBD (little black dress) will always look modern and chic. It literally never goes out of style. Therefore, if you want a garment that is trendy and will outlast other trends a black dress is the way to go.

Beyonce turned up the heat with her black gown by incorporating another hot 2017 trend, cut-outs. Cut-outs are the perfect way to add a slight touch of sexiness. Moreover, Bey kept her accessories to a minimum so as not to overpower her LBD. She finished her look with a choker, ring, thigh high boot heels, matching black handbag and silver earrings.

Hair Notes: When your dress has that sauce you don’t need to overdo it. Think like Beyonce and fashion those locks into a voguish chignon. Add drama like Queen Bey by creating a deep middle part and leaving some face framing strands to flow freely. The result will be beautiful and alluring.

To instantly see celebrities’ fiery ensembles just take a quick trip down the digital catwalk better known as Instagram. We spied out this little black dress number adorned by the beautiful Taraji P. Henson for White Hot Holidays. White Hot Holidays is a FOX network special that will air this Wednesday at 9/8c. The televised event is hosted by Empire superstars Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard.

Rehearsals for WHH are underway and Henson’s head-to-toe look truly burned it up style wise. In a photo originally posted by James Bolden, Henson poses in a LBD showing off her gams and hints of her insane physique. She completes the look with pointed toe heels and red hot nail color. Holden captioned the chic pic, “Something Short to Start The Night Off!!! #WhiteHotHoliday @tarajiphenson #jsnbldnstyleteam.” If that was the goal then it was definitely achieved!

Spotted: Beyonce in NYC Getting Her MAC On!

Spotted Beyonce in NYC Getting Her MAC On

Yesterday evening the one and only Queen Bey was spotted walking the streets of New York City in head-to-toe black. She looked chic in an asymmetrical cut-out dress, pointed toe heels and leather jacket. As we mentioned in a post last year wear your jackets like a cardigan to up the style factor. Come on, no diva or fashionista really needs to put her arms through sleeves anymore! That’s like SO 2013 (LOL) we have progressed people! (HaHa).

Let’s move down to the feet area for just a moment. Bey accessorized her ensemble with an ankle bracelet, that was not over-powering but enough to make a delicate statement. Ankle bracelets are trending and be sure to look out for our future post of some of our current favorite styles!

Nevertheless, didn’t we say that Beyonce was getting her MAC on? Well, she definitely was showing why she is a boss lady and say it with us… HUSTLER, by toting a silver Apple Macbook. We are sure that Apple is salivating over these shots as her legions of fans are probably currently burning their PCs in order to make the switch. Okay, you know our humor none of the sort is happening or maybe it’s just cool to see celebrities using the same products that we do!
