It has been 24 days since the new year, and I must admit the runway show collections have been impeccable. Recently January 23, Givenchy has featured it's upcoming FW '15 collection on the runway.

Riccardo Tisci, an impeccable fashion designer from Taranto, Italy. In 2005, Tisci was named Givenchy's creative director for women's ready to wear & Haute couture line. Riccardo Tisci is known for his fascination of dark touches, and mid evil ideas. Tisci's inspiration has paved the way throughout the Givenchy designs, drawing new attention to the brand.

Riccardo Tisci's Givenchy menswear line had a dark twist to it. In this line Tisci used his religion --Catholicism-- as an inspiration, but it wasn't necessarily holy lets just say it was the opposite. These looks featured a red and black color scheme, along with the red glitter catwalk that depicted a "Runway to Hell". The makeup was superb it featured the archaic adversity from Pat McGrath. This collection consisted of Native- American patterns along with shaded off sequins. Sinister was the theme, the models walked the catwalk with their lips stitched shut, and depicting daughters of darkness. Although, this collection had a spiritual touch it was everything but "Godly". Check out the collection down below

This collection set the bar high for this new year of 2015, which only makes me more anticipated for the upcomming collections. Riccardo Tisci is one of the most successful designers, and I must give him his props. Along with Rick Owens, Tisci the idea of "Miscellaneous style" to a T. This is only the first month of the new year and lets just say maybe this will be the year of "Givenchy". Overall, This runway collection has been one of my favorites yet..until next time guy and gals #STAYSTYLISHALWAYS

"I don't agree with a total designer look. I like when I see Givenchy mixed with other stuff. It means that the person mixed it. I hate people being repetitious. In my collection, it's not all the classic or the street, it's a mix of everything. The men's-fashion business really closes itself in a cage. It should be much more open." - Riccardo Tisci
