Defining Moment:

Fall 2011 — Madonna lace and Rottweiler iconography merged; gothic couture met street

Riccardo Tisci

)

Tisci fused Catholic iconography with street energy, transforming Givenchy into a gothic cathedral of sensuality.

His world combined lace and leather, confession and spectacle.

He turned desire into discipline, crafting myth from subculture and devotion.

Structural Focus

Body as Measure

Human scale, movement, or wear calibrates the work. Proportion is felt physically rather than visually alone.

In Riccardo Tisci’s work, this approach appears where silhouette structures repetition.

Position

In Riccardo Tisci’s work, this approach appears where silhouette structures repetition.

Form is governed by rigid rules, limits, and non-negotiable constraints.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Form is constructed around the body through material, proportion, and movement.

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.
