It's a well known fact that I love what Riccardo Tisci is doing at Givenchy. He's one of my favourite designers and I was devastated when it looked like he'd be moving over to Dior. Luckily he appears to be staying put, but unfortunately I wasn't overly excited about the Spring/Summer 2012 Haute Couture collection. Obviously you can't fault Riccardo's skill - the detail and craftsmanship in this ten piece collection is extraordinary - but this season Givenchy was so dark and heavy. It could easily be an Autumn/Winter collection.
Hopefully the collection will grow on me once we see it in editorials and on the red carpet. But on another note, do you think any of the models dared to play basketball in their couture?
Are you a fan of Givenchy's Spring 2012 Couture collection? Or has this one failed to dazzle you? Which has been your favourite collection this week?

I really hope that after these photos were taken the models started running about screaming and throwing balls at each other. And that they took their nose rings out first, obv.

I actually really love it, not sure on the black dress last posted as it just looks a bit messy but the rest looks beautiful.

I adore the collection. The details are amazing and so those spectacular earrings. Hope to see the white dress on top right on the red carpet.

It is indeed a very bizarre collection, yet I admire his courage to venture away from all the bold colors that define this coming spring and summer.

I love this collection ... I must say I find the basketball reference a bit arbitrary. The jewellery makes a great statement.
