Carine Roitfeld styled the Givenchy Autumn/Winter advertising campaign pictured here and it is red hot. Appearing minimal on the surface, the textures fascinate me. The campaign stars house muse Mariacarla Boscono, along with models Malgosia Bela, Willy Cartier, Jonathan Marquez, Catherine McNeil, Simon Nessman, Paolo Roldan, Joan Smalls, Lea T, and Ming Xi; the photography is by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot.
Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci points out that he chose a transexual as one of the models to exemplify the masculine/feminine dichotomy that pervades his design. His personal assistant and former house model Leo is now known as Lea T and as Tisci says, "She’s always been very feminine: superfragile, very aristocratic. She’s part of the family.” The campaign will appear in the July issue of L'Uomo Vogue.
