Today’s edition of Arm Candy focuses on the much loved Givenchy Nightingale. Classic, simple, and practical, the Nightingale is a sound investment piece.
From day time to evening, this brilliant piece keeps you looking sophisticated and edgy at the same time. The handbag is a satchel with top zip and removable shoulder strap. The interior is fabric lined with side zip pocket and two small organizational pockets. Dubbed one of the newest "it" bags, the nightingale can be seen here on the arms of Ashley Tisdale, Heidi Klum, Reese Witherspoon, Ashley Olsen, Mary Kate Olsen, Rihanna and Nicole Richie.
Givenchy: A Quick History
The house of Givenchy was founded in the 1950s by designer Hubert de Givenchy and is now owned by luxury goods behemoth LVMH.
Hubert de Givenchy was known for his modern, ladylike styles, which earned him many famous clients such as Audrey Hepburn and the Guinness, Grimaldi and Kennedy families.
John Galliano succeeded Givenchy upon his retirement but was in turn promoted to Christian Dior less than two years later, prompting the hiring of Alexander McQueen; In 2001, designer Julien McDonald was appointed Artistic Director for the women's lines, which consist of haute couture and ready-to-wear.
The reins for both collections were ultimately passed on to Riccardo Tisci in 2005 when he was named chief designer of womenswear. Tisci's apparent fascination with gothic touches and space-age minimalism have drawn new attention to the brand.
