Givenchy fashion inspired by anatomy: “

Fashion designer Riccardo Tisci’s latest couture collection for Givenchy was inspired by Frida Kahlo’s obsessions with religion, sensuality, and human anatomy. What, no menswear!? From Style.com:

The zipper pulls were little bones, a belt was a spinal column re-created in porcelain. The dominant motif of the collection was the skeleton, laid out flat in the lace appliquéd on a long tulle column, or rendered in three dimensions in obsessively dense clusters of crystals, pearls, and lace on the back of a jacket in double silk duchesse satin. Nestled in the middle? A tiny ceramic skull sprouting angel wings. At one point during his presentation, Tisci rather tellingly muttered, ‘A romantic way to see death.’
