At a glance the Givenchy Haute Couture Autumn Winter 2010/2011 collection doesn't look too gothic or menacing. Just very ornate white and gold dresses flowing to the floor similarly to the Snow Queen from Narnia or some fabulous goddess.
But on closer inspection Riccardo Tisci's dresses reveal extra pumped up gothic factor using a spinal column as inspiration for the porcelain belts (!) and actual bones for the zip pulls (!!)
Just a little freaky, non? (I NEED to find out what type of bones these zippers were made out of...)
But there is no denying that all the skull embellishments and the gothic touches add to the beauty of these gowns.
Extreme amounts of detail is the norm in Haute Couture however Riccardo Tisci's strivation for perfection makes this whole collection stand out from the rest. Despite y'know, the bones.
