EUROPEAN DESIGNER RESALE
Hubert de Givenchy
Born 1927 Beauvais France
“The art of our trade, like that of a painter, is to create the impression that the work simply
appeared fully developed. The only way to do this is to totally master technique.” Givenchy
Givenchy brought a breath of fresh air into the world of haute couture. Simplified forms
and clean, precise lines, epitomised Givenchy. His designs were elegant, restrained
and stylish. His favourite model, who he clothed on and off stage for 40 years,
was Audrey Hepburn.
