Riccardo Tisci Raps Couture

Riccardo Tisci unveiled yet another spectacular couture collection in Paris yesterday. Givenchy-philes practically swooned in unison as pictures surfaced. There are just ten dresses, all white with spots of gold. Each one’s more elaborately decorated than the next with dégradé pearls, hand-sewn crystals, feathers, fringe, beads and lace. Everything was long, though some still light thanks to sheer underlays and cutouts at the waist and shoulders. It was the last dress, however, that caught our eye. On this side of the Atlantic the Internet was buzzing over the cover of Jay-Z and Kanye’s joint album, Watch the Throne. Between Tisci’s colorful menswear show last week and yesterday’s stunning couture presentation, the designer whipped up the gold cover, above left, for his friends. The pattern around the edge is strikingly similar to the embroidery on the final couture look, above right, which may link couture and rap for the first time ever. As if you needed another reason to love Tisci.
