John Galliano (1995–1996)

Although his time at Givenchy was short, as he left after only one year to join Christian Dior, he was the one who had the privilege of succeeding Hubert de Givenchy. Galliano, who had just made a dramatic entry into the fashion world with his own house, brought a dramatic and theatrical touch to the brand. Injecting a large dose of creativity and theatricality into his collections, he drew inspiration from history, cultures, and art to offer spectacular silhouettes, often inspired by stage costumes or opera.

Alexander McQueen (1996–2001)

After Galliano's departure, another British designer, Alexander McQueen, took the reins of Givenchy in 1996, at the age of 27. McQueen was a bold, controversial, and innovative designer. He introduced a more avant-garde style to Givenchy, exploring provocative themes such as rebellion, using his genius with sharp cuts and sculptural silhouettes, often very elaborate. His creations combined traditional elements with modern touches, redefining luxury for the 2000s. He left the house in 2001 to focus on his own brand, Alexander McQueen. His time at Givenchy gave the house a new lease of life, projecting it into a more modern and provocative dimension.

Riccardo Tisci (2005–2017)

Introducing a more urban, black, and gothic style, while staying true to Parisian elegance, the Italian designer remained at the house for 12 years. By blending classic and urban styles, Riccardo Tisci succeeded in reconciling Parisian elegance with a more contemporary approach, notably by mixing ultra-femininity with more rock and streetwear influences. He quickly became a favorite of stars, particularly top models like Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, but also celebrities like Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian, whom he frequently dressed for events. It was he who introduced the first elements of streetwear into haute couture collections, marking the arrival of street and sports culture in the luxury world. Givenchy sneakers, graphic t-shirts, and black silhouettes became the house's signatures.
