Dear iDEALS, Givenchy's press has just sent me these wonderful new T-shirt photos..
Since becoming menswear creative director of Givenchy with the Spring/Summer 2009 collection, Riccardo Tisci has expressed itself through urban masculinity and sensual elegance. He has been exploring shapes, tailoring and details in an unconventional way.
T-shirts have been a constant fixture in all collections, reworking that icon of the men’s wardrobe and modern street culture every season since. Today, a special edition of 3 t-shirts captures the mood and inspiration of the Fall/Winter season:
- Stars & stripes: a re-interpreted version of the American flag painted vertically in red and white in triple print layer technique with inserted Rottweiler dog face
- Scarf Print : twisting the classic square ‘silk scarf’ print reworked in a gothic style using elements of chains, white stars, bones and growling dogs printed in a multi-layer screen print
- Rottweiler’s photographic face: featuring the main print of the Fall/Winter season, the face of a Rottweiler in a photographic technique.
Available in Givenchy stores from September 2011.
We are particulary happy about this...

An all-over flower print dress by Mastori*Motwary Studio—aka Maria Mastori and Filep Motwary—features all over the poster for a fashion exhibit currently on view at the Mode Museum Hasselt in Belgium. In very good company, the duo counts Hermès, Pucci, Dries Van Noten and Lanvin as fellow contributors. It's just the latest triumph for the Athens-born, Europe-based designers. Here, they discuss their Grecian formula...
The two of you are well-known as a Greek fashion partnership. Can you describe how you got together?
Filep: It was never planned, really. We were both working for a designer [in Athens]. Maria was responsible for the jewelry and I was working as the first assistant designer. We would only say hi or smile to each other. Then I left for Paris to see if I was meant for this business. Maria supported me in this decision. I decided to stay in Paris, working as an intern for John Galliano, Dior, Chloé and as a sales boy for Erotokritos. Two years later I went back to Athens. Maria wanted some costumes to present her new jewelry pieces with. I guess the rest is history.
