Luxury fashion house GIVENCHY introduces the Plage Capsule collection inspired by Hubert de Givenchy‘s beachwear legacy and his elegant retreat on the French Riviera which inform a summery capsule collection that moves effortlessly from street to shore. A transversal “city to sand” swim and beachwear capsule of ready-to-wear and accessories for Fall 2023. Inspired by the refined lifestyle and gentle colors at Le Clos Fiorentina, Hubert de Givenchy’s seaside estate in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, this collection revisits House signatures and presents seasonal variations on essential accessories, from a “straw basket” version of Givenchy’s new Voyou bag to Marshmallow wedges and classic G-Tote shoppers.
CAPSULE COLLECTIONS
The light is different in the South of France: Monsieur de Givenchy loved Le Clos Fiorentina for its protected, natural beauty and a relaxed elegance that was a world away from his busy life in Paris. For Givenchy Plage, I wanted to explore that lifestyle through light and color, especially the pearly pink façades that are so typical of that region. – Matthew M. Williams, Creative Director
In 2023, Givenchy Plage reconnects with that heritage in a collection featuring House signatures past and present. Daring cut-outs, beach club staples, sailor stripes, pearls and pink, chain motifs and delicately woven macramé come together in silhouettes that convey sensuality with a twist of sportiness and ease. Black and white — shades prized by Givenchy for their timeless, seasonless and universally flattering allure — set the tone for a collection designed in the spirit of separates, with pieces that lend themselves to easy layering. Linen, one of the couturier’s favorite materials, is knitted into bikinis and coverups in black or sandy beige, accompanied by a bob hat or this season’s Givenchy tote in raffia.
