Founder: Hubert de Givenchy

Brand Story:

Founded in Paris in 1952 by aristocrat Hubert de Givenchy, the house epitomized mid-century French aristocratic elegance, pure lines, and architectural chic. Cemented in pop-culture legend through a lifelong creative partnership with screen icon Audrey Hepburn—who wore Givenchy’s famous Little Black Dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s—the brand redefined post-war Haute Couture. Over the decades, Givenchy seamlessly evolved through daring modern eras, from Riccardo Tisci’s dark gothic romanticism and graphic streetwear in the 2010s to Matthew M. Williams’ sharp industrial luxury. Instantly recognized by its symmetrical 4G monogram logo and modern icons like the structured Antigona handbag, Givenchy continues to bridge historic French refinement with edgy, contemporary elegance.
