Building on directional silhouettes first shown on the runway in Paris, the Givenchy Holiday 2023 campaign of curated occasionwear showcases the house’s approach to elegance with a renewed taste for formal dressing.

Women’s looks pay tribute to founding couturier Hubert de Givenchy’s love of architectural cuts, noble materials, and witty plays on negative space. A floor-length dress in fluid, draped satin jersey is punctuated by a daring, graphic insert in 4G plumetis, for example, while a red dress in crepe cady features a cutaway halter detail inspired by the Givenchy archives, its open back highlighted by shimmying tiers of fine silver chains.

For men, elegant tailoring puts a subtle twist on House codes: the signature Givenchy thistle appears as a self-fabric embellishment on a jacket, seams are highlighted with tonal shine, or the 4G emblem crops up in crystal for an extra touch of holiday sparkle. Casual dressing, too, gets festive with elevated details such as sparkly side stripes on track suits. The new men’s Voyou finishes the look with an air of Parisian nonchalance.
