Sarah Guirguis This fall/winter season, Givenchy’s creative director Matthew M. Williams displays new heights of assertive glamour and originality, while paying tribute to his iconic first campaign. Captured by the up-and-coming photographer Thibaut Grevet, the FW campaign has a cinematic mood with a striking black background. So many looks we loved, including the puffer jackets and statement necklaces, but one accessory caught our full attention – the gorgeous Cut-Out Bag.
There are many reasons to admire this handbag but the main thing that stood out to us was the ideal balance between edgy and elegant. Flaunting bold, angular lines, the Cut-Out bag commemorates the brand’s heritage as it features the signature silver-finish G-Cube chain, designed by Williams for the house of Givenchy.
Diving into new daring depths, it also has a characteristic V-shape that really compliments the texture of padded, grooved lambskin, which interestingly, is inspired by vintage car seats.It was first revealed on the FW 2021 runway, where the models portrayed the posh attitude that this handbag represents. To allow more versatility, a longer, cross-body G-Cube chain is now available for the first time, which frankly we prefer over the shorter version.
If you’re wondering, the Cut-Out bag in padded leather is designed in mini and small sizes, available in two stunning options – black matte lambskin and lilac patent leather. Here, we have to mention that there is a tie between both styles and we can’t seem to pick a favorite.
There is also the alternative of smooth box leather with a subtle glossy sheen, available in black and chestnut, which are designed also in a larger version.
Like a magazine ad from the nineties, the whole campaign is everything you would hope for – fresh vision, creative interpretations and modern, futuristic appeal.
Cut-Out Bag styles are available in Givenchy stores worldwide and on givenchy.com.
