Born to Aristocracy, Destined for High Fashion

Hubert de Givenchy was born into French aristocracy.   His father was Lucien Taffin de Givenchy, Marquis de Givenchy and his grandfather and great-grandfather were both designers. This encouraged the creative gene to bloom in Givenchy.  In 1937, after attending the World's Fair in Paris, at the age of 10 he decided that his future was in the field of fashion.  By age 18 he was designing for Jacques Fath, a  family friend. He opened his own House of Givenchy in 1952 and was a success even though he was only 25.  He had major connections and great innovative designs that insured his fame.   When he met Audrey Hepburn in 1953, he designed almost all of her movie wardrobes.   Count James Marcel Taffin de Givenchy, in 1995 retired from the fashion world. Thanks to Givenchy's fashion expertise, we have access to more luxury handbags, jewelry and accessories.
