The House of Givenchy is honoured to announce Artistic Director Clare Waight Keller custom designed the wedding gown worn by Ms. Meghan Markl. To the Royal Wedding on May 19th, 2018 in London, UK.
Clare Waight Keller states:
It is truly an honor to have been given the opportunity to closely collaborate with Meghan Markle on such a remarkable occasion. We wanted to create a timeless piece. That would emphasize the iconic codes of Givenchy throughout its history, as well as convey modernity through sleek lines and sharp cuts. In contrast, the delicate floral beauty of the veil was a vision Meghan and I shared, a special gesture embracing the commonwealth flora, ascending the circumference of the silk tulle.
As a British designer at a Parisian Haute Couture house, and on behalf of all us at Givenchy. Who have been able to experience such an extraordinary process of creativity, I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished and grateful to Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and Kensington Palace for allowing us to be part of this historical chapter.
It has been an immensely rewarding experience. To get to know Meghan on a personal level. One I will forever carry with me. The House of Givenchy joins me in wishing her and Prince Harry every wish of happiness in their future.
