Below we look back at the best things about Claire Wright Keller’s last Givenchy show.
The height of lockdown brought us the news that Claire Wright Keller is leaving Givenchy.
It was news that was met not with disproportionate lamentation, but one that oddly felt like part of the orthodox cycle of things. It must be the times: closed stores and cancelled fashion weeks have the fashion world clamouring to discuss sustainability, ethics, and relevance. Or it must be Claire Wright Keller’s Givenchy itself, which, Vanessa Friedman and Elizabethan Paton,, noted as never quite gaining “the mainstream popularity that [Ricardo] Tisci achieved.
A model presents a creation by Givenchy during the Women’s Fall-Winter 2020-2021 Ready-to-Wear collection fashion show at the ParisLongchamp Racecourse in Paris, on March 1, 2020. Indeed part of that detachment from an appeal to mainstream popularity may have to do with Keller’s Givenchy’s ethos: timelessness. In a post-exitKeller said, “I try to always think, ‘Would I wear that in ten years?’ That’s my leitmotif.”
It’s a vision that has a timely resonance with growing movements against rabid consumerism. What was special about Keller’s Givenchy was that it was timeless not because that was what was fashionable, but because what Keller tapped into while in Givenchy was the old world romance that goes back to Monsieur Givenchy himself.
