Givenchy 08 Fall Advertisement

In this 08 Fall advertisement, Tisci changed back to use achomatic colour scheme to present his collections.

He used Lara Stone, Maria Carla Boscono, Lakshmi Menon, Natasha Poly, and Kristen Owen as his model. “I chose these five women that represent elegance, femininity and masculinity with character,” says Givenchy’s creative director Tisci..

The campaign is black and white to represent Givenchy's colors. Seeing as I'm intrigued by models, I love the power they're given in these ads. Yes, the point is to sell the clothes, but it's cool how Tisci placed such prominence on his muses.

Riccardo said he chose these women because they embody urban fierce elegance, a bold but feminine look suited for both the young and mature. The black-on-white pictures highlight the best of the fall 2008 Givenchy line: the goth-romantic ruffled blouse,s the leather jackets, strict cut blazers and, of course, the metallic chain necklaces.
