Founded: Launched in Paris in 1952 by French designer Hubert de Givenchy, quickly defining post-war French haute couture elegance.

 Audrey Hepburn Muse: Formed a historic creative partnership with Audrey Hepburn, designing her iconic wardrobes for Sabrina, Funny Face, and the famous black dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

 Design Milestones: Popularized the “Bettina blouse” and separated separates (mix-and-match tops and skirts), helping shift high fashion toward high-end prêt-à-porter (ready-to-wear).

 Creative Evolution: The house has been guided by groundbreaking creative directors over the decades, including John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Riccardo Tisci, Clare Waight Keller, and Matthew M. Williams.

 LVMH & Fragrance: Expanded into a global luxury conglomerate footprint after being acquired by LVMH in 1988, balancing historic haute couture with modern streetwear influences and popular fragrances.
