The Lowdown: Givenchy Appoints New CEO

Givenchy is looking to enter a new chapter, naming a new CEO but the brand is still yet to unveil a lead designer.

Givenchy has newly appointed a CEO. The brand is looking to inject some much needed fresh vision into the company after somewhat of a lull period.

Givenchy is owned by the french conglomerate LVMH and has been since 1988. In recent years, the brand has not seen the success it once had in the past. There was a time when Givenchy bags were ‘it’ bags among celebrities and fashion figures, but the brand has flown under the radar for most over the last few years,

The brand has been without a creative director ever since December 2023, when Matthew Williams walked away. 

Who Is The CEO of Givenchy?

The newly appointed CEO of Givenchy is Alessandro Valenti, succeeding Renaud De Lesquen. Valenti was previously Louis Vuitton’s EMEA president and prior to LVMH worked for the likes of Versace, Ralph Lauren, and Giorgio Armani.

What Is Givenchy Known For?

Givenchy is renowned for its impeccable craftsmanship and timeless designs, the brand's accessories have become coveted staples in the wardrobes of fashion enthusiasts worldwide. The Givenchy Antigona bag stands out as one of the brand’s most recognizable designs in recent years.

Givenchy’s Antigona bag had a real moment in the 2010s. The bag was introduced in 2011 by then Creative Director Riccardo Tisci. 

The brand is always known for the Nightingale bag and the Pandora bag. Aside from accessories, Givenchy’s portfolio is not limited to accessories, the brand also does: haute couture, ready-to-wear, and fragrance.

Fun fact: Givenchy’s well-loved perfume L’Interdit was created in 1954. Givenchy gifted a bottle to Audrey Hepurn before it was mass produced. When Givenchy let her know it was going to become available to the public, Hepburn jokingly replied with ‘but I forbid you!’, which is how the name came to be.

Is Givenchy Worth It?

Givenchy is definitely worth it if the designs align with your own personal style. As the brand awaits the reinvigoration that a new creative director would inject into it, now is a good time to buy.

Why? Because the less hype there is around a brand, the less they can hike their prices. Should Givenchy see a quick upturn, you’ll be glad you bought when you did.
