Givenchy's Wild Horses
Cathy Horyn, for The NY Times blog On The Runway, posts about Givenchy's Fall Collection. Ms. Horyn opens her blog post by joking about how it appears to be "all about the bodyguard this season." Her quick witted transition between the prominence of bodyguards, Alicia Keys' white Givenchy blazer, to Riccardo Tisci's blazers for the upcoming fall season is what makes her a very influential blogger and critic in the fashion industry. Her use of
fashion reporter's language is an excellent description of the
collection and the reader can clearly picture the clothing before
actually seeing it. She has a great attitude and isn't afraid to voice her opinion on the designer's collections while also offering her own experiences which are what make her blog posts an interesting and valuable asset to anyone in the fashion industry.
"Speaking of blazers, Riccardo Tisci’s fall collection is loaded with
them. His general themes were riding gear and the sexiness of Guy
Bourdin’s 70s-era photography. If that sounds like a big grab bag of
stuff, it was. Mr. Tisci showed lots of swanky black leather, in slim
and flared shapes, and color-blocked fur. Lacy camisoles were a soft
spot. Riding boots came with sheaths over the heels, creating a
chimney-stack effect from floor to knees. They looked boss. But tops
were many of the jackets, especially a group with a longer, squared-off
back flap—you’ll have to find them in the mix."
