Riccardo Tisci

Riccardo Tisci was born in 1974 in Taranto, Italy. After studying at Design Istituto d’Arte Applicata he went on to study at London's Central Saint Martins Academy before graduating in 1999. In 2005, he became the Creative Director for Givenchy womens haute couture and ready-to-wear lines, before being handed the menswear and accessories lines in 2008. Tisci has a fascination with space age minimalism which I find really interesting as I love minimal style and design. He is also known for adding Gothic touches to all of his collections and the two concepts together have made for some very exciting designs. Since taking over Givenchy, he has pushed the brand creatively in a more youthful, avant garde direction while his use of fabrics and gothic touches keep the collections classically recognisable as Givenchy. Givenchy is know for it's usually cool toned and monochromatic palette and in Tisci's opinion, 'Black is always elegant. It is the most complete colour in the whole world, made of all the colours in the palette.'
