The capsule collection for women and men builds on Hubert de Givenchy's beachwear legacy with bold, breezy and sensual silhouettes that embody Riviera style.
First launched in 2023, Givenchy Plage is inspired by the joie de vivre and laid-back refinement of Le Clos Fiorentina, Hubert de Givenchy's summer estate in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Building on the spirit of that magical retreat, the Givenchy Plage capsule collection plays on key House signatures— the couturier's passion for noble French linen, a favorite print inspired by his lemon grove, and nautical or Provençal stripes— now revisited with modern cuts and paired with summery iterations of statement accessories like the Voyou bag, now in raffia with contrasting leather accents, or the G-Tote bag in soft raffia.
Playful, sun-kissed looks begin with the essentials— bathing suits, hats, beach totes— and expand on the art of summer dressing with an array of lightweight, easy-to-layer pieces. For women, crop tops, tanks, breezy button-downs and terry cover-ups can mix with a flirty skirt or pajama pants in linen. After sundown, satiny, sheer and textured treatments embody glamorous evenings by the sea.
Givenchy's love of linen was apparent with his first collection, in February 1952, a début that captured clients’ imagination with its elegance and the concept of separates. Throughout his storied career, Monsieur de Givenchy favored a linen Atelier coat; later in his career the couturier recounted that Greta Garbo had admired it, so he made one for her to wear as a beach cover-up. With Givenchy Plage, Givenchy honors that history and casts a fresh eye on a long-lasting, legacy fabric that is water-wise, zero-waste, traceable, and timeless.
