Givenchy founder, Hubert de Givenchy dies at 91

March 14,2018
Share:

By Sewe Ishola,

Legendary French Fashion Designer, Hubert de Givenchy has died at the age of 91.

Born Count Hubert James Marcel Taffin de Givenchy, the French aristocrat founded Givenchy in 1952, after a stint working for Elsa Schiaparelli. The house became known for its separates like the Bettina blouse, which debuted at his first show and became a signature, allowing women more freedom to mix and match when it came to their wardrobes. “It was a dream to make those creations for women,” Givenchy told AnOther in an interview last year. “It’s the most beautiful job in the world to give happiness to people.”

In addition to founding the Parisian house, Givenchy is also known for creating clothing and costumes for Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly & Jackie Kennedy.

Givenchy also created the house’s first fragrance with the actress in mind and she later became the face when it launched in 1957.

Following Givenchy’s retirement in 1995, the house has been overseen by designers including John Galliano, Alexander McQueen (who infamously called the founder “irrelevant”), and Julien MacDonald. From 2005 to 2017, Riccardo Tisci held the role – making him the designer to do so for the longest after Givenchy himself. Clare Waight Keller took over the house last year, and last week presented her third runway collection in the role of artistic director.

While not as prominent in the industry after exiting the brand, Givenchy still made appearances, last year attending the opening of the exhibition dedicated to him at the Museum of Lace and Fashion in Calais. He spoke about fulfilling his dream of always wanting to be a designer, and the respect he had for friend and fellow designer Cristóbal Balenciaga.

The company confirmed his passing through a statement on their Instagram page. They wrote;

“The House of Givenchy is sad to report the passing of its founder Hubert de Givenchy, a major personality of the world of French Haute Couture and a gentleman who symbolized Parisian chic and elegance for more than half a century. His enduring influence and his approach to style reverberates to this day. He will be greatly missed.”
