Overview
- Givenchy presented its Spring/Summer 2027 ready-to-wear in Paris in early October with Sarah Burton at the helm and critics highlighting exacting cuts and streamlined proportions.
- Burton said she aimed for 'precise simplicity,' and the show answered with sharp, experimental tailoring such as suit jackets with sliced sides and sleeves removed or reattached as sculptural elements.
- Leather was a clear focus on the runway, from structured leather trousers to biker-style leotards and reworked house staples like the Shark Boot given a front zipper.
- Marco De Vincenzo made his first visible contributions to Givenchy leather goods with a range of colorful styles including the cutaway zippered 'Cut' hobo and new crescent bags.
- Beaded-fringe gowns, matching cuffs and minaudières, and bold jewelry blurred the line between garment and accessory while positioning the season as a wearable, subtly subversive option for women shoppers and red-carpet clients.
