About the brand
Founded in 1952 by French designer Hubert de Givenchy at just 24 years old, Givenchy revolutionized fashion with its debut collection "Les Séparables." Breaking away from constricted, conservative looks of the era, the Parisian fashion house introduced elegant separates featuring clean lines, refined silhouettes, and impeccable tailoring. The collection's star piece, the iconic Bettina blouse, exemplified Givenchy's philosophy of effortless chic and understated elegance. As an industry pioneer, Givenchy became the first couturier to launch a luxury ready-to-wear collection in 1954, making premium designs accessible to broader audiences. The brand's legacy was forever shaped by its legendary partnership with Audrey Hepburn, who became Givenchy's muse and lifelong friend after their 1953 meeting. This collaboration produced fashion's most memorable moments, including Hepburn's iconic black dress in "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Beyond haute couture, Givenchy expanded into fragrances with L'Interdit in 1957, originally created exclusively for Hepburn. Today, the house continues embodying sophisticated luxury while maintaining its commitment to timeless elegance.
