Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy, 2005–2017
Tisci took charge of Givenchy's couture, ready-to-wear and accessories in 2005 and made Hubert de Givenchy's polished house darker, more romantic and far more streetwise, with gothic runway drama and graphic printed sweatshirts that crossed into celebrity wardrobes.
The numbers are what earn it a place: Givenchy's turnover rose six-fold over his twelve years. His follow-up as chief creative officer at Burberry, from 2018 to 2022, never produced a comparable turn, a useful reminder that a formula rarely travels from one house to another.
