'The young Italian, Riccardo Tisci, now in his fifth year at the house of Givenchy , packed a powerful punch in his strong, bright collection was also one of the shortest fashion shows on record - 22 ensembles and all over in just seven minutes; More evident, however, was just how far the maison has moved away from the long-ago \'muse\', Audrey Hepburn. The mood was more Studio 54, with its disco-bright, glam-rock, sequinned jumpsuits, in graphic patterns, glitter-ball eye make-up, and electric ball gowns, with golden crystal bustiers, and shadow-dyed from neon-lilac to intense velvet, and finishing in bouncing, pom-pom trains of ruffled tulle.But there was equally immaculate tailoring, too, exemplified in the concentration on tailcoats. One, scissor -sharp in black barathea with lacquered lapels, came with tuxedo-trousers, worn over a feathered tunic, shadow-dyed from ivory to kohl-black.Other tailcoats were in jet-black caviar beads, over a midnight blue jumpsuit, or were worked a profusion of black lace, jet, lace-covered crystals, and encrusted appliqués of Guipure, over a long, dress in layers of lace. Tisci did not forget his fascination with feathers, either. Skirts, collars and tops were fashioned from black vulture, emu and crow feathers, gleaming in a quite sinister fashion in the follow- spots, mounted high on the ceiling of the Salon Impérial - Yves Saint Laurent\'s old haunt - in the Hotel Westin.The eclectic mood of the collection was mirrored in the front row line-up, which included Salvador Dali\'s former muse, the actress, Amanda Lear, the former model, Stella Tennant, and the rapper, Kanye West, and his girlfriend, Amber Rose.'
