Givenchy Spring/Summer 2015 Ready-to-Wear Review

     I think its about time I address this Givenchy collection. Deep and rustic color palliate, lace up high heeled sandals with second-skin leather pants, and symbols of gypsies are some of the major themes. What made this collection for me was the edginess, a word I fear I use too much. But honestly, without edginess, would anything be really new? Regardless, Ricardo Tisci's inventions for next spring were sexy, strong, and full of spice. The clothes were menacing and beautiful, tough, and flowing, lacy and leathery. This collection has much more character, different from the usual "street-style" looks Tisci has made Givenchy known for. The lacey fabric and the lace up motifs on chests combined classic frivolity and of-the-now sexiness.

     

Virgin Blak Haul

     I am delighted to announce that a package for me from one of my favorite fashion websites, VirginBlak.com, has been received! I reviewed their brand here, and in fact, the company loved it so much, they gave me a $100 gift certificate for promoting their brand! So, I chose just a few things from my wish list and clicked SUBMIT. I must say it was pretty sensational. Now, the actual package I have received:

For starters, I picked out three things:

The Faux Leather Sleeve Zip Cowl Tee (Black)

The Skull Cable Knit Sweater (White)

And Studded Black Leather Gloves

The leather gloves came in first, as a separate package. Nothing was damaged and it was easy to open. The gloves were nice and excited me for the rest of my order. A few days later, the shirt and sweater came. To be honest, I was a little nervous about the quality of the clothes, but once I opened up the package, all of that was erased. The cable knit sweater was of high quality, fit perfectly, and kept me warm. The zip cowl tee was amazingly edgy looking, with an asymmetrical hemline, zipped opening, faux patient leather sleeves, and thumbholes at the end. This shirt was also in excellent quality, and fit perfectly. Will definitely be buying from VirginBlak.com again and look for these things in my "What I Wore" posts.
