Givenchy Orange Jersey Leather Cut-Out Maxi Dress, 2014

Under the direction of Ricardo Tisci, the S 2014 Givenchy collection showcased a style that differs from the usual aesthetic. The garments featured highly draped silhouettes and various textural trims that gave an effect of Greco-Byzantine inspiration. Done in a vivid tangerine color, this gown offers an intricately micro-pleated bodice à la Fortuny.

The diagonal straps meet to form a soft V-neckline and are visually contrasted by the horizontal pleats at the thick waistband. The skirt consists of various gathered panels that fall into a beautifully undulating ankle length hemline. At the waist, the technique for sewing the skirt creates triangular windows around the body adding more to its architectural element. The bold color and detailed design of this dress create an excellent evening wear wardrobe addition.
