The last stop on the Fashion Diary this season is Paris Fashion Week. SS22 has the world’s leading fashion houses hosting their first physical runway shows in 18 months.

The city of romance has been host to a series of spectacular presentations this season. The schedule has been full of physical and live stream events from a variety of emerging and established brands.
The season ends this year with a show dedicated to the late Israeli fashion designer Alber Elbaz, founder of new label AZ Factory and former creative director of Lanvin.

Shows took place amongst the city’s historical landmarks and gardens, with fashion finally making its long-awaited return after three virtual seasons. Here are FIB’s highlights from Paris Fashion Week SS22.
Givenchy

Last season, Givenchy’s panoramic show film saw models stomp through water in the Paris La Défense Arena. The brand returns to the Paris La Défense Arena for its S/S 2022 presentation.
Creative director Matthew M Williams presents his first physical runway show for SS22 – delivering his vision of the future at Europe’s largest indoor performance venue, on the outskirts of Paris. It’s a sculptural, domed space by French architect Christian de Portzamparc, with a capacity of 40,000 spectators.

Indulgence and Discipline
The SS22 presentation constructs a contrast between indulgence and discipline, contemporary and traditional.
Williams is best known for his uniform-inspired utilitarian aesthetic. This season, he successfully merges with creatives across a variety of disciplines; resulting in some truly unique points of view.
Williams explains, “For the SS22 collection, I wanted to build on the tradition of Givenchy’s history while also really looking towards the future.”
The collaborators include the artist John Smith, whose work is incorporated throughout the collection and musician Young Thug, who scores the show.

He says,
“The collaboration and this collection offer people a remarkably immersive and special experience.”

Defined by an intense contrast in style, the SS22 range celebrates the tradition of Givenchy. The collection encompasses streetwear mainstays like utility vests, track pants, and logo baseball caps, as well as experimental pieces like unisex thigh-high boots in leather and fitted suits.
Throughout the collection, material experimentation and expert construction provide the strength of classicism and the notion of rebellion, resulting in timeless silhouettes.

The collection’s broad spectrum finds enhancement in masterful raw edges, delicate Broderie Anglaise, tulle, and transparency. Bright and strong hues combine to bring Givenchy’s signature palette into the modern.

“This collection is a miracle. The sky is the limit. Thanks for taking a look.”
