Givenchy Couture shows cancelled!

WWD is reporting that Givenchy is no longer going to be doing couture shows! Instead, the designer Riccardo Tisci will be showing his couture creations in private appointments which are said to be costing 35% more than a show. So, it's clearly not a money issue!

Tisci wants to make sure that " People can really experience the couture moment:see it, touch it." The clients that usually purchase Givenchy's couture pieces are never present at the runway shows due to security reasons so this will be a great way to get around that. I just hope we still see pictures!

Another challenge that Tisci is to be taking is that he will not be using any black in his next show. Good luck to Tisci as we all know is very fond of black! I am excited to see what he will come up with!

Zuhair Murad

Born and bred in Beirut, Lebanon, Zuhair Murad is quickly becoming an obsession. Zuhair broke onto the fashion scene when he decided to take the risk and show his collection at Paris Haute Couture week in 2001. The gamble paid off, as the collection was really well received by the press and customers alike.

He has collaborated with Mango to launch "Mango by Zuhair Murad" and his ready-to-wear line and couture collection can be found in select boutiques worldwide. He has a unique way of blending his eastern influence and making it high fashion. His reputation is now the "rocketing star designer". Above are a few designs from his 2010 couture spring collection.

Zoe Saldana

A dress that has mixed reviews... I love it personally, it was daring choice and it payed off, Zoe looks great in this Givenchy couture gown. This dress was truly unique, Saldana has become quite the fashionista.
