5. Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci speaks with Vogue about his life, career, and collaborations. A key factor to understanding Tisci is his family. Growing up with nine sisters, Tisci was "eat-once-a-day poor," however, he developed an obsession for contemporary music culture, preferring art and music to fashion. He is also the illustrator of
Kanye and
Jay-Z's
H.A.M cover from their
Watch the Throne album. Some memorable quotes from the piece are,
“I arrive in London a survivor. When you have to survive, you survive.”
“Remember these two things: One, don’t forget where you’re from, and secondly, be yourself. What I’ve done is done. You have the keys to the house.”- Tisci quoting Givenchy.
“Like a family giving opinions to each other, “sharing—which is something that fashion is missing.” - Tisci on his collaboration with Kanye and Jay-Z.
“Everything’s going right in my life. I’m not jealous about the green grass of the neighbor—why should I be?”
