Riccardo Tisci unveils
pre-spring 2014 menswear Givenchy collection expecially for STYLE.com this week. The latest season's theme is about
Favelas, fire, flowers, Bambi ( EVEN! ) and a variety of colourful camo motifs.
Tisci took inspiration from Latin culture – Favelas 74. (1974 is Tisci’s birth year.) As he said : „ Men in favelas are not scared
to mix and match clothing. They
represent sensuality, street, and elegance, what I recognize as elegance. I
love the fact, that they play with opposite things like flowers ( which
represent peace and serenity ) and camo ( which represents the army ), but all
interpreted in a very colorful and positive way.“ There are so many
opinions about this collection. Some people said, that this collection is too
bad, too feminine and messy, probably the worst Tisci pre collection to date or
something like this collection doesn't justify how men should wear. Some people
like camo tees, elegant black suits or skirts. A lot of people get convinced
with time. You'll see later! However, I guess that's exactly what he wanted to
do, another kind of protest to someone.
