Gothic Sytle

Riccardo Tisci was raised in an extreme catholic family, I think this is a main factore that affect his designs at the ealy day of life in church or about medieval style, such as the gothic paintings and the gothic building syle of the church.

Also, when he was born, his father died and his mothers needed to raise 9 children including 8 girls and him.Personally this provided him a chance to observe the nature or the beauty inside women and the tough side of a woman.

Therefore he is capable in giving different image of a woman, like the tough and glam look in 2008 fall ready to waer and bloody but sexy look fall ready to wear in 2006.

To conclude, designer's history affects the design and the use of colour.Black, not only is the symbol of elegance, but also about something dark, something like gothic, something powerful.Thats why black is always the main colour of Givenchy designs.
