Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci showed his spring 2011 couture collection in an intimate presentation held in a cozy but fancy salon for the comfort of his clients. The elusive nature of couture customers suggests they prefer to be wealthy in private, away from Pedro Almodóvar and other celebrities, doesn’t it? This season’s ten-dress collection was inspired by Japanese Butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno and shown on an entirely Asian cast. The headpieces, which no couture-wearing woman should be without, to be sure, came from Japanese Goldrake robots.
