Givenchy Pre-Fall 2011 Collection

Oh Monsieur Tisci! Givenchy's  Pre-Fall collection is filled with lightness that I didn't really expect from Creative Director Riccardo Tisci. I know he gave us a breath of fresh, light air in his Fall 2010 Couture collection, but to continue that approach to this collection is just genius.

A collection of mostly basics is done for Givenchy. "People want another show", Tisci said in an interview with STYLE.COM and it was what he brought. Urban appeal meets French sophistication.

Some pieces you can see from the collection are long flowy skirts, pleated skirts, draped tops, patch-worked parka, armadillo print skirts and tops, rich purple pantsuits and layering (it's pre-fall anyways)

Passionate love to the pants!

I'm loving the silhouette of this skirt and the way it falls

Very neutral but still very chic

To die for!

I'm loving the shape!

SEVERE!

Another to-die-for look!

Armadillo print never looked so good!

Menswear is definitely here again!

As you may have noticed, there is minimal to no traces of black in this collection. Riccardo Tisci said that "Brown is the new black" which explains the tans, browns and taupes, which looked extra phenomenal with the lavender and purple and beige.

You've captured my fashion heart once again Mr. Tisci.
