Givenchy

Case study in translating runway extravagance into commercial desire

The King Of Pop with style oracle Rushka Bergman

TI is off to the movies to see "This Is It" on a prompt from Micheal's last stylist Miss Rushka Bergman. Rushka began working with Micheal Jackson after styling the legend for the October 2007 cover of L'Uomo Vogue that celebrated the 25th anniversary of Thriller. For the imaging of Micheal's look for the concert , Bergman collaborated with Christophe Decarnin for Balmain, John Galliano, Kris Van Assche for Dior Homme, Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy, Erickson Beamon and Giuseppe Zanotti on creating a series of outfits that drew on Jackson's 40 year legacy as a performer. Especially dazzling were the sharp shouldered motorcycle jacket rendered in Thriller-red leather, the tuxedo jacket studded with crystals and a suede military jacket all by Christophe Decarin. How directional and influential would a live glimpse of all this been! As Ruska explains

Antonella: Girl 1 at Givenchy: the defining make or break show in Paris

"It was such an honor to open back-to-back shows for Givenchy and Riccardo. To be honest, it was a mix of sensations: nerves, happiness, responsibility and adrenaline. Ultimately I enjoyed it a lot and the entire team was incredible to work with."

TI is jet-lagged out of his discombobulated skull...but am happy to report that the Givenchy couture moment had the even the skeptical kids buzzing, spinning and rippling

The shows are done. The editing starts now...
When a collection provokes polite indifference all you have is the proof that the synapses of all in question have stopped firing.

Its been slow in brewing but this season that Givenchy brew has proven to be especially potent one .

"The lifeblood of any model, male or female is the customer coming back. We can be the best possible agent and make that opportunity of the booking... that one time. We can get you in to see that customer who ordinarily would not have requested you...that one time. But the only one who can make that into a repeat booking is you when you get on set"
