Givenchy Atelier, a capsule collection embracing the brand’s rich history and savoir-faire, will be available exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman Tuesday. The offering features a selection of pieces with couture-inspired codes and tailoring for women and men. Select looks from the collection will also be showcased in the luxury retailer’s windows during the launch.
The capsule, which features 28 styles, is designed in the spirit of Parisian elegance with a dash of American ease. Key signatures from Hubert de Givenchy’s repertoire, such as bows, lace and pearls, appear on elevated occasionwear designed by creative director Matthew M. Williams. The looks include little black dresses, jackets, tops, suits and trousers. Givenchy previously did a capsule with Bergdorf’s in 2019.
Renaud De Lesquen, chief executive officer of Givenchy, said, “A legendary name in luxury, Bergdorf Goodman’s ties with Givenchy reach back to the house’s founding, not to mention its most recent iconic cinematic moments. It’s an honor to unveil the Atelier collection on Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, and I can’t think of a more fitting showcase for Givenchy’s new elegance.”
Yumi Shin, chief merchandising officer at Bergdorf’s, said, ” We have a long history of extraordinary partnerships with the house, including the 2019 exclusive takeover with their couture collection, and this initiative is no different. From our famous windows to women’s and men’s pieces in-store, we look forward to presenting this exquisite collection — rooted in the house’s timeless glamour — to our customers.”
The capsule is offered in a palette of black and white. For example, there’s shimmery black lace layered over black chiffon in a jacket, pants, and blouse offering a ladylike take on evening transparency; a monastic long-sleeve gown reveals a plunging back.
The Givenchy Atelier x Bergdorf Goodman men’s offering includes evening suits informed by classic tuxedos cut for today’s more nonchalant style, with discreet details such as the emblematic 4G and this season’s thistle motif rendered in tonal beading. There are also more casual styles, such as the T-shirt, hoodie and jeans with details such as silver-finish zips with textured 4G tabs.
Givenchy Atelier accessories include a versatile mini version of the Kenny bag, in dusty gold leather or in black silk with a silver 4G chain and signature padlock, and a high-heeled slingback pump that also comes in dusty gold calf leather.
Prices range from $650 for a T-shirt to $8,500 for a gown. The capsule will be housed in the Givenchy shops on the third floor, and will have an activation on the main floor in the “luxe room.”
The Givenchy Atelier collection will be available in-store at Bergdorf Goodman starting Tuesday, as well as online at bergdorfgoodman.com.
