Hubert de Givenchy founded his namesake haute couture and ready-to-wear house in 1952. No sooner did it open than Givenchy earned a reputation for breaking with the classic fashion codes of the day. Today, Givenchy remains synonymous with the dual notions of fresh modernity and aristocratic elegance, a tribute to the talent of Monsieur Givenchy and that of his successors, in chronological order: John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Julien MacDonald, Riccardo Tisci, and Clare Waight Keller.
