Givenchy Look for Less


Givenchy, the Paris fashion house has been a leader in the fashion world for some time now. Their runway collections continue to drive and inspire the latest trends for the upcoming season. This season was no different. Riccardo Tisci, the head designer for Givenchy, showed menswear jackets paired with, tailored white shirts, and tight black pants, all layered with chunky charmed necklaces. It was a gothic punk chic which became a huge trend for Fall/Winter 2008 all because of this show. Visit the Givenchy website for more inspiration (www.givenchy.com).

The looks from the Givenchy show though will cost you...Here I want to show you how to get the looks for less.

This jacket from La Rok is the best bang for your buck to pull off this trend. This jacket comes complete with a detachable necklace that you can use to wear with other outfits and the jacket is great on its own as well. http://www.intermixonline.com/jump.jsp?itemID=24714&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&keyword=larok

This dress from La Rok is also a great piece to have to pull off this trend. Like the jacket, the dress comes complete with a detachable necklace. http://www.intermixonline.com/jump.jsp?itemID=25417&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&keyword=larok

Leather pants are a huge trend this season and these are at an unbeatable price!!! http://www.marciano.com/ProductDetails.aspx?style=P8300600&image=P8300600-BLK&root_category|=&category|2915=LEATHER&browse=1&rpt=Department.aspx&pt=ProductListing.aspx
