[Tim] Who do you think this woman is?

Joan of Arc.

No doubt about it. (laughs)

Revisited by Ricardo.

Ricardo s Tisci s latest collection for Givenchy

was a kind of rootsy affair.

If you think of rootsy meaning

going back to what he does best.

Something that was streamlined, graphic,

quite fetishistic and very sexy.

I just lately probably as well

influence all these women I ve been

meeting and collaborating and women that I respect,

it came very naturally to do

typical me, like things that

really that belong to imaginary

that I love for a long time,

which is to

try to delve into the costume.

Or the graphics,

because I like flavors from 70 America, 60.

As usual like when girls that are

romantic and intelligent

but have the little touch of naughtiness.

[Tim] Are you surprised that a fashion show

can elicit that kind of response from you?

It s creation.

You know when he s in front of his paper,

he has to invent lines

and to invent a feeling.

And it has to come from a hidden place.

So the best ones are real creators.

They re like sculptors.

The black-and-white stripes

reminded me of a really signal collection

in his career.

It was five years ago maybe now,

and everyone was sort of like, whoa,

who is this guy.

And he s always looking back

at what he s done before.

He likes looking at the archive

and seeing how he can build on it.

I love that the line was

the same throughout.

You know sometimes he does shows where

there s different sections and difference,

and this shows very one point of view.

I see a real essence.

When you love and you expect so much something,

that becomes your religion in a way.

And I ve got a big, enormous respect of women.

I grew up with women,

and so anything I do,

at the end of the day, I go back to women.

And that for me,

that was the catalyst in this collection.

The fact of love, respect and support

of something I love.
