'(16 Oct 1995) English/Nat One of France\'s top designers has bowed out of the fashion scene by presenting his last ready to wear collection at the famous French Fashion Week. Hubert de Givenchy will now pass on the keys to the shop to British designer Galliano, who has a distinctly different style. In his last show before retiring, Hubert de Givenchy went for the classic look - simple designs in enduring colours. His \'96 spring and summer ready to wear collection was a mixture of creams, blacks, whites and reds with matching stylish hats. The designs as always flattered the female form. Clearly a favourite with the home town crowd, the French designer was warmly applauded by his models at Monday\'s Paris presentation. It was his last romp on the ramp. He\'ll now retire and turn over the reins to British designer Galliano. SOUNDBITE: \"I have never seen a collection of Galliano but if the direction of Givenchy selects this Galliano, it is certainly for some reason. You know but I said before all my wishes are not only for Mr. Galliano of course but it is for the house.\" SUPER CAPTION : Hubert de Givenchy, Fashion Designer The grandfather of French fashion got one final kiss from a model before being inundated by the world\'s fashion media for one final time.
