Givenchy Muse Alert: Ciara

I've written blog post about Ciara before. I think she is a fly chic. But was never really a fan before her last album, Fantasy Ride. Which did horribly on the charts. Even though there were some amazing songs. But I believe that she has finally found herself and her personal style. When she started out, she was a seventeen year old girl from ATL, singing about her "goodies".

This week Ciara, jetted off to Paris, to sit front row, alongside Amber & Kanye, at the Givenchy's Spring 2010 couture show, designed by Riccardo Tisci. Riccardo's first couture collection for Givenchy. A few months ago Ciara declared, via twitter, that she was the new Muse for Tisci. A very bold claim to make. The collection started 40 minute late, due to a tardy Ciara, and was met with Boo's from photographers. I'm positive this incident was planned, well before she even received an invite to the show. She then changed her outfit, and hit the after-party. Maybe she is a muse. Who knew?

*A new album from Ciara is due later this year, with help from producers The Dream and Darkchild.

*Ethnic Male Models @ Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy

Riccardo Tisci's runway show for the Spring 2010 Givenchy menswear collection was great for a number of reasons. The clothes had an edgy simplicity to them. With a somewhat punk aesthetic, consisting of just red, black and white colored fabrics. But one of the biggest highlights was the use ethnic models. Its been such a long time, especially in European collection, that a designer has used so many ethnic models in one show...without it seeming like a gimmick.
