"I wanted it to be erotic and sensual and to show skin, Burton said backstage. When we want to empower women we often reach for masculine codes, but I wanted to look at female emotional intelligence, and dressing and undressing."
"Every woman is different, Burton said. Sometimes when I'm casting, a model puts on an outfit and I can just tell that she doesn't want to wear a heel. So I change the look."
Sarah Burton, in her second outing as Givenchy designer, presented showgirl-inspired looks featuring bedazzled collars, rhinestones, peach marabou feathers, lipstick-red leather cocktail dresses, and tuxedo jackets worn open over lace. Burton has led Givenchy for less than a year and is redefining the house with a renewed focus on classic glamour and red carpet dressing. The collection emphasized sensuality and the interplay of dressing and undressing while adapting looks to individual models’ needs. Givenchy is re-establishing itself alongside resurgent houses such as Schiaparelli, which is being celebrated with an upcoming V&A exhibition on Elsa Schiaparelli.
