Mood board: The Latin blood that flows through Riccardo Tisci's veins ebbs and flows through his collections, with his visceral and emotive design approach evoking his faith, his love, and his dark side. This season his evening show veered towards the apocalyptic, as the designer returned to the matador's red, Western checks and a near-Native American blanket motif, lavished across sharp tailoring all the way down to the tip of a stacked heel boot.
Scene setting: Inside a low tent behind Les Invalides, Tisci proposed a lavish, dilapidated decor of antler-backed chairs, chaises lounges, and a sanguine glitter catwalk that traced around the room like a circus stage. Though many looks sparkled themselves, the runway ensured even the most staid tuxedo was bestowed with a red halo from below.
Team work: Givenchy's accessories studio have long made a habit of provocative and unusual body jewellery (shark teeth, that nose magnet stud), and this season's wire lip cage pushed the envelope even further. The monkey teeth amulets also invoked an inescapable voodoo vibe, furthered by Pat McGrath's African mask-inspired body make-up.
