Givenchy presents Givenchy Plage, a “city to sand” resort collection of swimwear and beach attire. Drawing inspiration from Hubert de Givenchy’s seaside French Riviera estate, as well as his swimwear legacy, dating from 1952, the capsule revisits House signatures and reimagines them with contemporary details. Creative Director Matthew M. Williams combined the effortless glamour of the south of France with that of his own Californian roots for a joyful collection. Cut-outs, sailor stripes, pearls, and straw define the classic-yet-modern, sensual-yet-sporty looks, photographed by the seashore.

“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,” Williams explains.
