Kim Kardashian jostled for attention with the new fashion royalty, Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid, at Paris fashion week on Sunday night. The new couple in town — Malik and Hadid — attended Givenchy’s evening show to a storm of flashing lenses. It came hours before a gunpoint robbery that saw masked men steal millions of dollars of jewellery from Kardashian West’s hotel room.
Former One Direction star Malik sported his new beard-less face and was all smiles as he held hands with model Hadid in a pink and beige Givenchy turtleneck jersey and slicked-back hair.
Kardashian, who arrived in a revealing satin and tulle pearl Givenchy bustier that contrasted with her front row neighbour Courtney Love in black, had for once to share the spotlight.
Riccardo Tisci channelled naturally occurring crystal and stones for a vivid spring-summer Givenchy show that evoking lattices and vivid colour in the myriad styles.
Tight silhouettes featured overlaid layers and swirling, interlocking shapes — with huge quartz pendants on large chains that hung down boldly to define the aesthetic.
Funky stripes met contrasting dotted patterns that evoked — in bold multicolour — the formation of crystals at the molecular level.
This was one of the quirkiest collections from Givenchy in years and untypical of Tisci, who seems to be moving away from a more aggressive, combative aesthetic.
