Givenchy

The highest-ranking haute couture division of Givenchy, continuing from the maison’s founding in 1952. It is also presented as Givenchy Couture through the current official contact channel and, with its ateliers and salons at its core, upholds the maison’s overall craftsmanship and standards. It is the origin that precedes ready-to-wear, accessories, and beauty, and is positioned as the starting point for all other lines.

A category in which Thélios, LVMH’s eyewear specialist, designs, manufactures, and distributes sunglasses and optical frames for Givenchy. It belongs to the parent brand’s accessories range while operating through specialist divisions distinct from clothing and bags, and is offered in the men’s and women’s sections. Products are organized under names such as 4G and GV, extending the use of logos to accessories worn around the face.

An early line of luxury prêt-à-porter by Hubert de Givenchy, introduced in 1954. While retaining the grammar of couture, it introduced the realm of ready-to-wear and marked the first stage in the maison’s move beyond luxury made-to-measure clothing toward broader contexts of wear. The name preceded later ready-to-wear developments and is positioned as the starting point of Givenchy’s prêt-à-porter history.

The beauty division began with Hubert de Givenchy’s introduction of his first perfume in 1957 and expanded from fragrance into makeup and skincare. Its product scope and operations are separate from couture and prêt-à-porter, and it serves to translate the parent brand’s world of dress into fragrance and cosmetics. Still under LVMH, it operates as an independent pillar representing Givenchy’s beauty business.

A historic ready-to-wear line founded in 1968, presented on Givenchy’s timeline as a new chapter in prêt-à-porter following Université. It played a role in the couture-focused maison’s continued expansion into ready-to-wear and is positioned in the archive as a key point in the history of prêt-à-porter.

A historical name that began in 1973 as a fashion line for men, marking the point at which Givenchy presented menswear as an independent theme. The name Gentleman continues to be carried in the men's collections on belts, shoes, and accessories, serving to connect couture-derived construction with the men's wardrobe. Within the parent brand, it is a foundational name that symbolizes its menswear lineage.

A diffusion line launched in 2017 to expand into the children’s clothing market, it is produced and distributed under a licensing arrangement with Children Worldwide Fashion. The Maison’s design studio oversees the line, translating elements derived from Givenchy couture into both everyday wear and occasionwear. Its production structure is separate from the parent brand’s mainline collections, and it is positioned as a family-oriented extension line covering babies through school-age children.

Founded in 1968, this second-tier line was responsible for expanding Givenchy’s ready-to-wear. Initially launched as Boutique Givenchy, it was later renamed Vision Givenchy and became an outlet for ready-to-wear aimed at a broader customer base. It supported clothing production on a path separate from haute couture and the main prêt-à-porter line, but is now considered discontinued.
