Givenchy Gowns Sweep the Runway at Paris Fashion Week

Givenchy creative director Matthew M. Williams focused on dresses at the French fashion house’s fall runway show at Paris Fashion Week on Thursday, sending out a line-up of long, slinky gowns that swept the runway.

First he kicked off the show for the LVMH-owned (LVMH.PA) label with all-black, sharply-tailored outerwear – coats with sleeves that fell below the wrists and hemlines that reached the ankles.

While the models marched to a solemn, electronic beat in a temporary tent at the Ecole Militaire in central Paris, some of the guests were more flamboyant.
