Givenchy have dropped their FW23 and it is a glamorous affair. Styled by Carine Roitfeld and photographed by Heji Shin, the campaign sees Matthew M. Williams’ FW23 season modelled by Mona Tougaard, Karolina Spakowski and Liu Wen.

In a nod to the golden age of couture, this collection harked back to the Givenchy archive from the 1950s and 60s and melded the iconic looks and styles of the era with Williams’ contemporary eye. “I wanted to express Givenchy’s new elegance by taking cues from our past and adapting them to the present,” Williams says of the campaign. “The look focuses on confidence, comfort and empowerment, three concepts that are integral to the House’s codes.”

Showcasing a collection bolstered by strong tailoring, magnified volumes and sharp constructions, this campaign shines a spotlight on standout pieces such as a sculptural black blazer over an asymmetrical dress in mousseline, a slash-front silk lavaliere blouse paired with a wool mohair tricotine long black skirt, and an incredible elegant trench coat in pale yellow leather.

Accessories include the Voyou statement bag in a new, easy-to-layer medium size in seasonal hues or metallic finishes with the jewellery, such as Stitch rings and cuffs completing the looks.
