Paris Menswear: Givenchy

Riccardo Tisci had a fashion epiphany yesterday in Paris.

Catholicism have always been one of Tisci’s biggest influences so no wonder why the show was called Exodus and his 25 models walked to “Ave Maria.”

For fall the Givenchy men will pay homage to the clerical severity. They will wear lots of black and white, religiously mix together, tee shirts that declared “Jesus is Lord” and patent leather "Jesus" sandals.

Im no fashion expert but this is in my opinion one of the best Tisci collection so far.

The religion was not the only influence as most of the models wear build like athletes and the leather pieces clearly had that element of streetwear.

Im not sure about the sandals for fall or about the shiny leggings. But I love that menswear brings some sort of " reality" to fashion. The cut are a breath of fresh air, most of the pieces are wearable.

Tisci has all the potential of a Hedi Slimane at Dior. He is bringing Givenchy to a larger audience without breaking any institutional code, well he sure follows the Givenchy code.

 More of my favourite looks after the jump.
