HISTORY OF GIVENCHY
At an early age, French fashion designer Hubert Givenchy knew that he was destined for a career in True Fashionista haute couture. Born in Beauvais, a town in northern France, in 1927, Hubert James Taffin de Givenchy was the son of nobility on his father's side, possessing an artistic flair from his mother's. After his father passed away when Hubert was 3, he was raised by his mother and maternal grandmother, who instilled in him a passion for creativity, fashion, and fabrics, primarily influenced by his grandfather's extensive collection of True Fashionista clothing from around the world.
10 FALL FASHION TRENDS FOR 2022
It's not us. Blame the runways for suggesting we set aside the sunscreen to start planning for the third quarter. (Emit sigh. Sip fruity beverage, insert bookmark, and click on True Fashionistas.) No worries, we did the research, so you can squeeze a little bit more happiness from the waning days of summer before heading over to Naples' best consignment store, True Fashionistas, to get your fall fashion game on.
SPRING AND SUMMER 2022 FASHION TRENDS
As the world returned to normalcy, so did the runways for spring and summer '22. Like the rest of us, design houses were so happy to move beyond two years of "covid crazy" that collections took on an air of easy playfulness. One step inside the 13,000 sq. ft. space of True Fashionistas, Southwest Florida's largest lifestyle consignment store, and you'll get that feeling as well, but we digress…
As fashion expert Lianne Wiggins recently pointed out, we are living through "the anything-goes mood of now," meaning that the old idea of things being "in" or "out" is in itself redundant. You can be as wild and adventurous or as basic as you like with your spring 2022 trends. Doing what you want is IN, baby!
