It was the long awaited first collection of Matthew Williams at Givenchy, the meeting of two worlds, the arrival of an American at the helm of a French staple in high fashion. And the designer – who has risen to success in a short amount of time, thanks to his vision which blends sportswear and sleek lines – has proven he is fit for the role with looks that totally embody what we want to wear right now. The pieces, in monochromatic shades, are refined and have that classic element that will make them last in time. Cuts are razor sharp and accessories add the touch of bling to elevate the looks. Williams put forward his love of hardware, a strong inspiration in the collection, visible on the shoes, bags and even the clothing.
