Givenchy nasce grazie al designer parigino Hubert de Givenchy nel 1952, rimasto a apo della maison per oltre 40 anni. La sua prima collezione, Les Séparables, è storia della moda. Nel 1995 lascia la direzione artistica della casa a John Galliano, sostituito poco dopo da Alexander McQueen.

Negli anni successivi si sono susseguiti diversi direttori artistici, nel 2017 subentra Clare Waight Keller, mentre oggi troviamo Sarah Burton.

Among the most famous brand ambassadors is undoubtedly Audrey Hepburn, also thanks to the film Breakfast at Tiffany's in which the actress wears a little black dress, a true classic of women's clothing. Hepburn herself created the famous perfume "L'Interdit". Among other collaborations we find those with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West and that with the British Royal Family, for whom Givenchy provided the princess's outfit.

The Givenchy eyewear line has always been marked by a bold and refined style. Today, production and distribution are handled by the LVMH-Thèlios group, a company born from the LVMH group's desire to enter the eyewear sector and Marcolin Group's experience in creating unique frames that faithfully combine Italian design and craftsmanship with the core values of each house.

A synthesis of the names of the Greek gods Theia, goddess of light and sight, and Helios, god of the sun, Thélios covers the entire production cycle of eyewear, handling the design, production, and worldwide distribution of sunglasses and optical frames for several Houses within the LVMH portfolio. As an emblem of quality and excellence at all levels, in product, service, communication, and distribution.
