Islamic Style Influence

Muslim Fashion Givenchy Couture

Hard to Miss

Givenchy have carried on from where they left off this Fall with sheer chiffon headscarves, but this time the middle eastern influence was much more present. The gold was veering towards being garish and if it had been done by any other designer I think it would look tacky. What I liked more were the different textures and the tattoo like gem embellishment. They pushed the designs to a more creative level, and against the sleek silhouettes Riccardo Tisci does so well they looked stunning.

Givenchy Couture Fall 2009

Before I forget, I owe this post entirely to a sister, Fae, who commented on a previous post. She has an awesome blog Breathe Hijab on which I spied the Givenchy collection. You can see the whole post here. I hope you don’t mind sis, I am just an admirer of your work!
