Celebrated fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy has died, aged 91.
His partner Philippe Venet, a former haute couture designer, revealed that Givenchy had passed away on Saturday the 10th of March.
The French aristocrat founded his namesake label in 1952, but before that he worked with the still-unknown Pierre Balmain and Christian Dior.
He also earned his fashion stripes under the watchful eye of Elsa Schiaparelli from 1947 to 1951.
After establishing himself as a serious designer, Givenchy gained worldwide prominence thanks to his work with Audrey Hepburn, and he designed many of the actress' personal and professional outfits, including the famous black dress she wore in 1961 film 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.
The French fashion house has been helmed by Clare Waight Keller, the label's first female artistic director, since March 2017.
She succeeded Riccardo Tisci in the role.
