A Master of Haute Couture, elegance, class and perfection. French fashion designer <b>Hubert de Givenchy</b>--yes, THE GIVENCHY--has died, at the age of 91. <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_de_Givenchy" target="_blank">Count Hubert James Marcel Taffin de Givenchy</a> </b>founded the French fashion house of Givenchy in 1952. Before then, at the age of seventeen, he moved to Paris and studied at the <i>Ecole des Beaux-Arts</i>. During the 1940's, he designed for <b>Jacques Fath</b>, <b>Robert Piquet </b>and <b>Lucien Lelong</b>. From 1947-1951, he worked alongside Elsa Schiaparelli.

The two sealed the deal with their iconic partnership in <b>"Breakfast at Tiffany's"</b> (1961) where she wore his infamous Little Black Dress. They remained friends for forty years until her death in 1993. Givenchy's clients also ranged from <b>Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor</b> to <b>Empress Farah Diba of Iran</b>, <b>Lauren Bacall</b>, <b>Ingrid Bergman</b> and <b>Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis</b>. They paid $25,000-$50,000 a gown (at today's exchange) when ordering a style. In 1989, the brand was sold to <b>LVMH</b>. <b>Hubert de Givenchy </b>officially retired in 1995, handing over the design duties to John Galliano who lasted only briefly and was then succeeded by <b>Alexander McQueen </b>for five years...and <b>Riccardo Tisci </b>from 2005-2017. Givenchy died in his sleep at his Renaissance chateau. <b>Here is my PHOTO DEDICATION to the Master, Hubert de Givenchy:</b><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
