Ciara, the Queen of Givenchy, Talks Tour Wardrobe and Being Inspired by '90s Era Nia Long
In a recent interview with Style.com, Ciara spoke a bit about her wardrobe for the upcoming "Jackie" tour, being Riccardo Tisci's Givenchy muse, and how the '90s have influenced her sense of style.
Ciara and designer Tisci began working together back in 2009, and she says that it changed the way she thinks about fashion. "I had always admired fashion, but more so from afar...Having become friends with these designers, I’ve gained a newfound respect for their craft altogether. Now I’m able to say I want some Calvin [Klein] simplicity but with a Stella [McCartney] vibe. I never used to have that mental fashion Rolodex."
Tisci laced Ciara with more Givenchy than anyone else over the past seven and a half years. "I was looking through pictures recently—for Throwback Thursday—and I thought to myself: Dang! I must have had over a hundred or so Givenchy looks over the years!"
When asked about being Tisci's muse, she said "you’d have to ask him that. I just know our bond is still strong. What’s so beautiful about our creative relationship is that I get to see a lot of [myself] in the designs. It’s always been a really organic thing." She added that her favorite Tisci design was the dress she wore to the 2013 MTV Awards.
