The Givenchy 2011 Spring/Summer menswear show looked kind of like an audition for Phantom of the Runway. As if the design of the clothing was not abstract enough, some of the models also wore some quite menacing masks as the walked the runway.
Some of the pieces included in the Givenchy 2011 Spring/Summer men's collection included leopard print pants, doily inspired dress shirts and men's skirts. Ah now I understand the need for the masks. Must have been the models choice.
