Carine Roitfeld for Givenchy

A living style icon for one of the most popular and glamorous of the entire fashion world. This is the base of the advertising campaign of Givenchy for the next season. 

Family portraits, realized in black and white by the photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Pigott, that have as exceptional protagonist characters like Madame Carine Roitfeld and her daughter Julia Restoin and Amanda Seyfried captured in a little gipsy atmosphere. <<The protagonists really have gipsy lifes. They don't stay in the same place too long. They travel all the world>>, said Riccardo Tisci, creative director of the brand. Here, a little taste...

Madonna at Superbowl

She promised to offer “the greatest show on the earth in the middle in the middle of the greatest show on the world“. Madonna kept the promise and offered to american people, 12 minutes of pure entertainment in the middle of superbowl, yesterday night.

For the singer a total look signed by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy: black mini dress, over knee boots and high heels.

A evergreen Madonna, that opened the show as a modern Cleopatra surronded by roman gladiators talking for the world’s peace and performing with her biggest hits. From Vogue to Give me all your Luvin. So many collaborations, including the one with the english singer M.I.A. and electric-hop duo LMFAO. An electrifying show that made forgot the Christina Aguilera‘s inglorious performance of last year, when she forgot the words of the national anthem.

Once again Miss Ciccone shows no fear of comparisons in terms of style and originality and, after this show, she confirms herself (if ever proof were needed) as a legend in the music scene.

Here the video of her performance:
