When it comes to starpower, Givenchy has it in excess—Creative Director Riccardo Tisci is close personal friends with Kim & Kanye & Bey & Jay, which should say enough but he’s also got a full roster of more fans and homies that puts him in the top echelon of celebrity designers by association. Couple that with the fact that he’s one of the most interesting designers working, crafting consistently beautiful, delicate pieces almost without fail (though his appropriation train needs to chill the hell out), plus a pedigree abroad, and it’s the recipe for what will most likely be the hottest ticket at NYFW this autumn. Expect to experience Twitter, Instagram, and the city itself at its neediest. God bless, may we live through this thirstpocalypse!

Can you hear that high-pitched squealing in the distance, seeping into your earholes at the quiet, desperate decibel of a rubber balloon slowly bloodletting molecules of helium? That is your psychic vision of the thirst that will accompany invites to the Givenchy runway show when it relocates from Paris to New York City this fall.
