In the spring-summer 2027 collection by Givenchy, fashion designers introduced a unique detail: belts with buckles that concealed ready-to-use compact powders. This feature was presented as a practical and stylish accessory for quick touch-ups during a long day. The collection aimed to reflect a sense of strength and preparedness through its designs, according to journalist Nicole Phelps from Vogue Runway. The focus was on creating fashion that adapts to the body and lifestyle of the wearer. The collection featured a range of accessories, including large metal ear cuffs, bracelet sleeves, and stilettos with sharp heels. These items were described as playful yet functional tools meant to be used when needed. The primary goal of these accessories was to please the wearer while allowing them to express their femininity. The inclusion of powder compacts was inspired by the legend of Bettina Graziani, a top model for Hubert de Givenchy, who was known for regularly dropping her powder compact. This small makeup case became dear to the designer's imagination and the history of the house. When Sarah Burton made her debut at Givenchy in March 2025, she chose to celebrate this heritage by repainting the historic seat of the house, avenue George V, white to mark the beginning of a new era. She revisited the codes and archetypes of the Givenchy woman, portraying her as both powerful and vulnerable, while injecting humor into the designs. A notable piece was a short dress with multiple powder compacts attached. The designer imagined Bettina spilling her handbag in the atelier and coming out with houppettes, makeup kits, and some jewelry. This season, the powder compact was integrated into the buckle of a belt, a detail that summarized Sarah Burton's approach to fashion at Givenchy. Her designs aim to be spectacularly elegant but must never lose sight of the woman who wears them. This blend of history, practicality, and elegance defines the current direction of the brand.
