Givenchy Spring 2012 RTW

Riccardo Tisci and Givenchy are like lightly-seasoned avocado and toast. Skintight monochromatic outfits paired with minimalist shoes presented a nice juxtaposition against curved, draping hems and unexpected sheer panelling. The perfect combination of hard and soft, exotic skin ran throughout the collection in the form of peplums and laser cut detailing, as did chiffoned sequins that almost seem holographic.

Never mind the omnipresence of the sheer top whose lapels bring to mind a flapping, well, vagina - a flapping vagina with flapping flaps that flap strategically so as to just almost cover the wearer's mammaries - I'd still wear it all in a heartbeat.
