Five pictures that capture the genius of Givenchy
'These dresses remind you of the first, best, glass of champagne'
Hubert de Givenchy, who defined Parisian chic, died peacefully today at the age of 91. We remember his genius through five iconic moments. From the invention of the LBD to Beyoncé's Met Gala dresses, his clothes are an enduring symbol of elegance.
Although Hubert took a step back from the business in 1995, Givenchy the brand has continued to be a big fashion player with some mega star designers at its helm. Among Hubert de Givenchy's protégés are Alexander McQueen and Ricardo Tisci. The new Givenchy muses include Kim Kardashian ( who wore Givenchy to marry Kanye West in 2014) and Beyoncé.
