GIVENCHY - Logo

Foundation Year: 1952
Nation: France
Production: from 1973 to 1988 and from 2001 onwards


Brand created by Hubert de Givenchy, a French designer born in 1927. After collaborations with Fath, Piguet, Lelong and Schiaparelli, he made his debut in 1952 with his own atelier. His style is characterized by simplicity and attention to detail, without forgetting fantasy and eccentricity. The meeting with Audrey Hepburn is decisive. She becomes his muse, wearing exemplary clothes that combine refined elegance with a touch of fresh transgression, in private life as in films. The fashion house, sold to the LVMH group since 1988, was directed by the designer Matthew Williams, from June 2020 to December 2023, who was able to modernize the designer’s legacy.
