What to know about Givenchy

Givenchy is a Paris luxury house founded by Hubert de Givenchy in 1952 and owned by LVMH since 1988. Sarah Burton, previously of Alexander McQueen, was announced as creative director in September 2024 and presented her debut collection in Paris in March 2025, pulling the house back toward couture-rooted tailoring, sharp shoulders and draped eveningwear after Matthew M. Williams' hardware-heavy streetwear period. Signature products include Antigona and Voyou bags, Shark Lock boots, 4G-monogram accessories and logo knitwear, supported by a large fragrance and beauty business.
