The Sahara Desert might be an unforgiving landscape full of harsh conditions, but it also boasts vast beauty that will steal anyone's breath away as the Givenchy Spring-Summer 2014 editorial shows. Titled 'Driving the Dunes of Erg Chebbi,' it is shot on the sweeping sand hills located on the edge the desert in Morocco. It is the perfect backdrop for the techno-tribal theme embraced by designer Riccardo Tisci.
Showcasing both men's and women's fashion, the Givenchy Spring-Summer 2014 editorial "focuses on the juxtaposition between city and nature," as observed by Hypebeast. More than that, the monotone landscape ensures that the vibrant and bold patterns of the fashion designs stand out even more. Not made with every person in mind, the looks are semi-eccentric, reeled in solely by the sleek structured tailoring.
