Founded in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy, the house is synonymous with elegance, sensuality and romance. In June 2020, Givenchy opened a new chapter in its history with the appointment of Matthew M. Williams as creative director of the men’s and women’s collections. A self-taught designer, Williams brings attention to detail to the House, as well as an intuitive understanding of tailoring, technology and integrity in fashion. His talent in translating cultural trends into high fashion, combined with his vision of the House’s timeless attitude and inclusive charm, make him the ideal steward to advance Givenchy’s legacy in a modern way.
