Once worn by American athletes, the sweatshirt was born in the 20s. With or without a hood, the sweatshirt is made of a mix of cotton and polyester that’s cleft with a zipper. Now a timeless product, it is finding all its resonance with Tisci at Givenchy. The two can definitely agree on the line’s purity and exaggeration. This season, the designer wants to celebrate women. Femininity takes wing within these silhouettes and shines through in prints to sound out like a force to be reckoned with. Gypsy aesthetics inspired Ricardo to create this collection where masculine is transformed into feminine, while glamour and basic enchantment come face-to-face.
This technique for the construction of textures and the graphic print patchworks can be found on the black neoprene Bambi print sweater, collarless and with lines that scream Hubert de Givenchy. This off-kilter sweatshirt’s uncomplicated energy etches something new onto a piece that has become the icon of Riccardo Tisci’s work for Givenchy. The Disney print that uses trompe-l’oeil to turn hasty first impressions on their head gives a softness to this essentially masculine piece. This twist functions so well that it’s also available on a matching clutch. It’s the perfect must-have to spend your fall with.
