Fashion brands — country: France · founded: 1954

GIVENCHY UNIVERSITÉ was one of Givenchy’s early luxury ready-to-wear lines, presented by Hubert de Givenchy in Paris, France, in 1954. Positioned as a pioneering luxury ready-to-wear line created by an haute couture designer, it was produced using equipment brought in from the United States. As a ready-to-wear offering that extended beyond the framework of couture, it played a role in the maison’s historical prehistory and laid the foundation for the brand history that continues into the present-day Givenchy, as a line that demonstrated Givenchy’s innovation in the 1950s.

Honnete is an original label launched by a factory, with roots in a textile manufacturer founded in 1954 in the Toulouse region of France.
