Description: Carlo Brandelli is joined by Sita Abellán, Jo-Ann Furniss and Louis Pisano to discuss Matthew Williams' first physical show for Givenchy S/S 22. The panellists discuss everything from Williams paying homage to Givenchy and the house's previous directors, including Clare Waight-Keller and Alexander McQueen, to the creative director's fixation on tapping into a 'Gen Z mindset' through his whimsical accessories and subtle artist references. With Matthew Williams having revealed before the show that he's started working on his first couture show for Givenchy, the panellists reference the extraordinary S/S 22 spectacle as a modern example of classic haute couture. The panellists also praise Williams' choice to collaborate with artist Josh Smith, touching on the collection's details such as the Basketball-cum-Halloween inspired bag, a direct interpretation of one of Smith's artworks.
