Givenchy

Givenchy is a French luxury fashion and perfume house, known for haute couture and ready-to-wear clothing as well as accessories, perfumes and cosmetics. The house was founded in 1952 by the designer Hubert de Givenchy, whose first collection made his name quickly, and it belongs to the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture et du Prêt-à-Porter, the French trade body for couture houses. Its perfume and cosmetics business is carried on under the Parfums Givenchy brand. Givenchy is today a subsidiary of the luxury conglomerate LVMH, and the house has passed through a long line of creative directors since its founder stepped back in 1995, among them John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Riccardo Tisci and Clare Waight Keller. In July 2024 Alessandro Valenti was appointed chief executive, succeeding Renaud Lesquen.
