Givenchy | SS23 Ready-to-Wear Collection

by Jess Ferguson

Givenchy presented a transatlantic Spring/Summer 2023 collection at Jardin des Plantes for Paris Fashion Week, inspired by cosmopolitan wear of France and America. The line offers a look at the different ‘city uniforms’ across the world, drawing on American workwear like trench coats, bomber jackets, and cargo slacks with the tweed and woven elements of the Parisian style, including leather-plated corset jackets and denim trousers.

“This collection is an investigation into the dress codes that tie us together across mentalities and continents: two culturally-specific wardrobes from very different places—Paris and Los Angeles—which have transmutated into a truly universal look for a global and generational community. I wanted to communicate this interaction with a new clarity and strip the final expression of any complexities,” Creative Director Matthew M. Williams said.
