An exclusive look at Matthew Williams’s new Givenchy collection.
Fashion designers are coming out of the pandemic looking not only for new ways of working, but new moods to reflect the purgatory-like state of late 2021. Matthew M Williams has found both at Givenchy with the help of the American artist Josh Smith, whose ceramic sculptures and Grim Reaper paintings are rendered in vibrant, joyous colours. Together, they’ve translated the happy-freaky mood of Smith’s artistic practice to Williams’s Givenchy spring/summer 2022 collection.

A lot less black and a lot more colour, with Givenchy logos and motifs pulled from the psychedelic palette of Smith’s Reaper paintings.
