Riccardo Tisci, head designer of Givenchy is the youngest couturier in history.
He is one of my favorite designers... and while searching youtube, I found this video showing his studio!
Though it is 2years ago and really short, I thought it was interesting to see him standing
in his studio explaining his own designs.
I was interested in the fact that Riccardo likes to mix up totally different ideas when he develops his own collection, such as David bowie and Africa.
While studying fashion, I've always learnt that when u think of a concept that mixes up different things u should have a specific reason or at least think really hard about why u want to mix them up.
However he looked as if he was just mixing them up for a better design-- a better looking.
Nobody cares about why David bowie has to mix up with Africa, they just like the gorgeous outfit...inspired by those two things.
and I'm thinking again about concept<design or concept>design
maybe the latter should be called more "artistic"?
