French fashion is synonymous with “elegance,” while American style gives off an impression of “casual.” So, what kind of sparks will fly when these two styles meet? Givenchy 2023 spring/summer women’s wear shines brightly.
When it comes to the most anticipated item of the new season, we have to mention the debut of the new handbag, Voyou! This versatile everyday shoulder bag comes in mini, medium, and large sizes, with a name derived from French slang meaning “bad boy.” Its design perfectly echoes its rebellious name, exuding a stylish attitude of confident nonchalance. The soft, flowing V-shaped structure, along with its lightweight, naturally foldable lines, creates a lazy yet glamorous and elegant feel.
Crafted from glossy, finely pebbled tumble grain calfskin with rolled edges, complemented by classic D-ring, new engraved buckle, and adjustable button, exuding a subtle yet elegant charm in a stylish manner. In addition to the tumble-grain leather, special edition metallic leather, soft denim, satin, and glitter styles are available, offered in black, ivory white, bright pink, and mint green tones, along with an adjustable shoulder strap with embossed metallic Givenchy logo, allowing the bag to be converted into a long or short shoulder bag, hand-held bag, or crossbody bag for different occasions and unique personalities.
How will Matthew M. Williams, the artistic director of the American brand, interpret Givenchy, a French fashion house? Matthew M. Williams chooses to start with typical urban clothing, combining the classic fashion of Paris and Los Angeles and redefining it. The 2023 Spring/Summer collection incorporates elements of thick tweed and weaving, exuding the charm of the Parisian metropolis, and a series of fashion pieces cleverly balance loose and close-fitting proportions, blending elegance and casual style with a modern approach.
The new season features many eye-catching designs, even the essential black dress is innovatively interpreted with multiple asymmetrical draped shawls falling from the neckline, creating a sense of layering. Versatile jeans are updated with distressed and patched effects, embellished with crystal fringe, adding fashionable details within subtle understatement. Standout designs include an antique-style knight leather jacket with zinc-plated metal elements, a corset outerwear with trompe-l’oeil leather breastplate, a square-cut coat in thick bouclé and loop fabric, a tailored suit with a fitted waist and sleek shoulder lines, and a classic blazer paired with a herringbone corset.
Blend the diverse fashion styles of French and American influences, which can be found in a range of shoes and accessories. Whether it’s over-the-knee lace-up boots, open-toe heels, and flats made of high-tech knit, thick tweed, or rare leather, or pointed slingback heels with etched metal heels, they effortlessly blend into urban fashion. Match with jewelry adorned with inlaid pearls and gemstone-encrusted beads, elegant and energetic sunglasses, creating even more outfit possibilities!
