It's looking like it's going to be a good year for Givenchy in 2012, as both the summer and winter collections have been appearing with regular frequency in the editorials of leading men's fashion mags, and the current issue of MFF is no different.
The February copy of the magazine features models Katya Riabynikina, Alex Sanchez, Jeff Thomas, Rodrigo S, Matthieu Inglese and Sebastian Slomkowski, all wearing pieces from the Givenchy Fall/Winter 2012 collection, as well as some interesting tribal-inspired facial jewelry. Skirts for men, a scaled sweater and garments with star-shaped details are just a few examples of striking pieces you can see in this editorial that takes contemporary, androgynous styles and puts them in a fifties-inspired setting. So if you're looking to hit the court the way these boys do, then you need to purchase yourself a Givenchy uniform.
