After nearly 12 years at Givenchy, designer Riccardo Tisci is leaving the French luxury label.
The Italian-born designer wrote a thank-you note on Instagram, accompanied by a picture of a sunset, thanking “my incredible team, the magical atelier and everyone who made these 93 collections possible and all the other crazy adventures. Your love and support, in the day and in the night, will forever remain in my heart.”
During his years at Givenchy, Tisci was beloved by celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Beyonce.
It wasn’t known where Tisci would land next.
The French couture house confirmed his departure to Women’s Wear Daily, which quoted sources calling the parting “mutual and amicable”.
In a statement to WWD, Bernard Arnault, chairman and chief executive officer of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Givenchy’s parent company, praised Tisci’s achievements.
“The chapter Riccardo Tisci has written with the house of Givenchy over the last 12 years represents an incredible vision,” it said in part.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
