Givenchy appointed Clare Waight Keller as its new artistic director, after Riccardo Tisci’s departure, who had been in the position since 2005. Prior to Tisci, the house has also previously had John Galliano, Lee Alexander McQueen and Julien Macdonald as creative directors. Announcing via Instagram as a teaser, an hour prior, it shared a photo of the label’s founder, Hubert de Givenchy, as well as a quote, stating that “true elegance comes with a natural gesture, an attitude in simplicity.”
“Hubert de Givenchy’s confident style has always been an inspiration and I am very grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this legendary house’s history,” said Waight Keller in a statement issued shortly after the Instagram announcement. “I look forward to working with the teams and writing a new chapter in this beautiful story.”
Waight Keller will present her first collection for Givenchy in October in Paris, for Spring/Summer 2018.
