No haute couture collection at Paris last week did to me what Riccardo Tisci did. Sure, it was a small show of only 22 looks, but for someone who sides with wearable high fashion and often finds haute overly haughty, Givenchy totally reinvigorated me.


Will anything ever again so beautifully disrupt my accepted notions of ‘fashion’?


The one thing missing from Tisci’s creations? Cloned models. Try as he might, they just don’t look enough alike. Perhaps we can re-stage Givenchy’s A/W09 Haute Couture collection in the year 2053. Then I just might die from over-stimulation.
