Riccardo Tisci

Couture shows? Ain’t nobody got time for that. At least Riccardo Tisci doesn’t this season. The brand’s creative director is once again skipping the Paris Couture shows due to his busy schedule. One bonus of Tisci getting a little more time on his hands is the news that Givenchy will be reviving their wristwatch collection, which was discontinued in 2009. Gotta stay on track of that busy schedule somehow.

The dance world’s “It” boy is the fashion world’s new darling. ABT dancer David Hallberg is profiled in the latest issue of CR with a funky photo shoot by Bjorn Iooss with that Roitfeld stamp all over it. “When you put fashion and dance together, it creates such a harmonious image,” Hallberg believes. “I think designers like Riccardo Tisci, or even Dries Van Noten or Kenzo, could do something so amazing with dance.” We concur. The current issue of CR is on stands now.

Riccardo Tisci is helping Rihanna shine bright like a diamond by designing the costumes for the first act of her tour. After removing her black Givenchy Haute Couture cape, Ri Ri reveals a three-piece printed and embroidered look. “Rihanna represents what young and amazing means today,” Tisci explains. “She is punk and talented.

Carine’s sophomore issue of CR Fashion Book drops stateside on February 28, (circ’s up from 50K to 65K, BTW). To mark the occasion, Roitfeld will be hobnobbing with a small coterie of V.I.C.s at a top-secret Park Ave. resto this eve. Are you invited? Also! As for the dance-themed issue? It’s positively gorgeous; behold this exclusive peek at the “Waiting In The Wings” spread.
