Following a recommendation from an up-and-coming <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/product-category\/brands\/christian-dior\/\">Christian Dior<\/a>, Hubert moved to Robert Piguet in 1946 and worked for a brief stint at Lucien Lelong in 1947. He then joined the house of legendary designer Elsa Schiaparelli where he worked his way up to become artistic director of the Schiaparelli boutique on Place Vend\u00f4me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Beginning of Givenchy Maison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/1J0NV0DV64V_UJiE8Od5QIPzWDyGxRDxhsgVT9CqjWLh0i_aZqcyN3E0gf-5tNdp6VkcrDg4luVfTtsWTEofYT_9luA9LSlwrO0Vo8Nj0_NxK8RgaYNZbHfp3MwBGt0rvmL_k3E9mRx9AiSWVmmAeM.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1952, Hubert de Givenchy opened his namesake house and presented his first collection, a line consisting of \u2018separates\u2019 (think elegant blouses, light skirts blending architectural lines and simplicity). His use of clean silhouettes and feminine fits translated well to the female figure and the separates made it easier to mix and match to create various looks. This collection was refreshingly different from the rigid pieces that dominated the fashion industry at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Givenchy &amp; Audrey Hepburn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4cOE-ZCwueUW9T6qVYKwP_x2atk7CChlqXxlCuFG14f3UrobYnfHog1oXeqDf_yB7-CMoMugFz_TjZ5edyM9YukMiSfCb1xhFod5Yqg68uzjd_EW2uP_51RIPjkCaqjaab9y55tf0lUy-DzLYQekWgk.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1953, Hubert de Givenchy met Audrey Hepburn, who quickly became his muse and the face of the brand. The pair went on to create fashion that redefined the standard of beauty at the time. Together they embraced a lighter and less restricted style that was the norm for the era. His designs embraced simplicity and architectural lines. He introduced the fashion world to the shirtdress and his unique lantern shape. This went on for 40 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most famous collaborations between the two include a beautiful dress gown made for the 1954 film <em>Sabrina<\/em>, which earned Givenchy a wardrobe Oscar nomination, and an elegant white floral dress that Hepburn wore to the 1954 Academy Awards (it&#8217;s regarded as one of the most famous dresses of the 20th century). Last, but not least, the iconic LBD (Little Black Dress) in the 1961 film <em>Breakfast at Tiffany&#8217;s<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Givenchy &amp; Balenciaga<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/9Bcv7MbaaBl-nh2nxzQyb1US20EiLqqS9Q12bqFhXXVrycyl_Wv9h1WS8QW3cnhhT_LxQ5gOjxONKtpyqiw0s2SfyBjANn2YiayLOCzGahmsKtJWj77Dt8TC8KhOpTJzvGwmUUmLGEbXL5dCMOBcAl4.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same year, Givenchy met Cristobal <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/product-category\/brands\/balenciaga\/\">Balenciaga<\/a>, his idol and mentor.
