Catwalking: Photographs by Chris Moore

Product Information

Exploring Hubert de Givenchy's legacy has been an enlightening journey, uncovering the dynamics of his beginnings, the noteworthy partnership he formed with Balenciaga – dubbed ‘Givenchiaga’ by the press in 1958 – and the bold creativity reflected in his prints,’ he says. Published in collaboration with Prada to celebrate 30 years of trend-setting creations, this volume offers a comprehensive and definitive history of the house. Fury was the first journalist to receive the Editorial Intelligence Award for Fashion Commentator of the Year 2014-15, and is a member of the Business of Fashion's BoF 500. After its founder’s retirement in 1995, John Galliano first took the reins of the house, before being succeeded by a young Alexander McQueen, who created his first (and only) haute couture collections for Givenchy.

Two photos I particularly love are a Halston fashion show pic from New York in the seventies and a backstage photo of a laughing Christy Turlington, at her most radiant, wearing a Chanel suit.Moore’s images are focused on what is out in front, while Fairer’s are seen from backstage or as his titles suggest . With over 1,100 images, this treasure trove of inspiration will be the must-have reference for all fashion professionals and Dior fans.

He received lifetime achievement awards for his contribution to fashion from the British Fashion Council and Graduate Fashion Week, and received honorary doctorate awards from the University of the Arts London and Northumbria University.This is the ultimate and only edit of Moore’s work throughout his career and covering the changing face of the catwalk. A total of almost 180 collections testifies to a level of inventiveness and luxury that may well surprise the general public. The book reveals how Hubert de Givenchy pushed fashion forward in the second half of the 20th century.
