After more than a decade at the helm of Givenchy — twelve years, to be precise— Riccardo Tisci has finally stepped down as creative director of the Italian fashion house. While Givenchy had been known for its glamour, Tisci chose to inject his love of hip-hop and street style into his collections that quickly gained him a popular following. For now, the rumour mills are churning out reports of Tisci heading to join Versace, although there has been no confirmation from either Versace or Tisci. However it is common knowledge that he is close to Donatella Verace and even featured her in a previous campaign for Givenchy, so his heading in that direction seems like a natural course to follow. The brand has also announced that it will not be holding a show at Paris Fashion Week in March, as a result of Tisci’s exit. Fans of his designs can still look forward to seeing them on the red carpet at the Oscars.
