Clare Waight Keller Instagram – The next couture chapter was Caraman – I named this collection after the 19th century townhouse originally built for the Duke of Caraman. This beautiful building became the Haute Couture atelier and salon of Hubert de Givenchy, where it still remains today on Avenue George V. I think for many people this was one of those shows that really resonated deeply with the story of Givenchy. It was a moment that really struck a very emotional chord with the audience and my team backstage, particularly as it was so soon after both the Royal Wedding and Hubert’s death. I had always personally felt that the Givenchy archives were a mystery, rarely seen in public exhibitions nor books despite his extraordinary contributions to fashion in film and the history of fashion in celebrity culture. I felt a profound connection to his craft as I searched through his legacy to honour his life through this show. I wanted to capture the essence of his work and vision of women through my own lens. In the images here – the looks hanging in the Couture salon, the show venue in the Musée de Archives garden in the heart of the Marais on a stunning summer evening, rehearsals in the afternoon before the show with the production team still finishing the set up, whilst I’m listening to the music to set the pace of the models. #hautecouture #paris #fashion #style #audreyhepburn #givenchy
