At this season’s edition of Pitti Uomo, it was Givenchy‘s time to shine. Clare Waight Keller, the British-born designer who helms the French fashion house, was invited to the influential event in Florence as guest designer and presented Givenchy‘s S/S 2020 Men’s Collection. The show was held at the lush gardens of Villa Palmieri, an ornate 13th century villa on the northern outskirts of town. A distinct elegance, a trademark of the fashion house instigated by founder Hubert de Givenchy, is translated in a series of modern silhouettes, but is explicitly visible in a range of tailored looks (read: sharply cut suits and coats). Complementing the formal pieces are streetwear-inspired designs crafted from nifty fabrics which make them compatible to combine. Interestingly, Givenchy also demonstrated its acute awareness of streetwear’s significance in today’s luxury menswear. and launched a collab with Japanese sneaker brand Onitsuka Tiger along the way. Shown here are eight looks from Givenchy‘s S/S 2020 Men’s Collection that we particularly like. Location: Villa Palmieri, Via Giovanni Boccaccio (Fiesole).
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
