"COWGIRLS" GIVENCHY 1998 by Fashion Channel
- 10 years ago
In 1996 LVMH chose McQueen to succeed John Galliano as head designer at Givenchy. He caused a stir at the fashion label and was forced to tone down his act after telling Vogue that his first couture collection was 'crap' and dismissing Hubert Givenchy as 'irrelevant'.
Later, he would admit: 'I treated Givenchy badly. It was just money to me. But there was nothing I could do: the only way it would have worked would have been if they had allowed me to change the whole concept of the house, to give it a new identity, and they never wanted me to do that.
McQueen eventually parted ways with Givenchy in 2001, when he claimed his contract with the French label was 'constraining his creativity.'
This is a special tribute to Givenchy, expecially for the spring/summer 1998 collection, designed by Alexander McQueen. A striped catwalk with cowboy outfits, taylored jackets, fringes and camperos boots.
