paris- givenchy knows how to reward a job well done. the paris based fashion house has announced that it has renewed the contract of riccardo tisci, givenchy's artistic director. tisci, followed in the footsteps of frockstars like galliano and mcqueen, all of whom tried to rejuvinate the brand to no avail. but in his three years there, tisci has enjoyed some success.

looks from givenchy's spring 2008 collection. british vogue did a great article on the trophy jacket and included the one in the middle. (designersense.org)

previously he was responsible for womens haute couture, ready to wear and accessories. under his new contract, his duties have been expanded to mens ready to wear and accessories. we will see his first mens show this fall when the spring 2009 collections are shown. congrats.
