Riccardo Tisci was born in Taranto, Italy and graduated from Central Saint Martins before becoming creative director of Givenchy. Riccardo is a very religious man and said about his A/W 2011 menswear collection: ”Religion is a big part of my DNA and this collection was about my Catholic(ism) and every other religion in a way.”
Riccardo Tisci designed this Givenchy menswear Spring/Summer 2013 collection around "the confessions of a young Catholic boy." There were round black and white collars like that of a priest and bomber jackets with images of Madonna and Child.
Riccardo Tisci is known for being inspired by religion for alot of his work and this is displayed thouroughly in his religious themed issue of visionaire.
“Today, so much fashion, and art and music, involves pleasing the client. So I said right from the beginning that, even though I am at Givenchy, I didn’t want any [fashion] credits in the magazine. The contributors could use vintage clothing, they could use a single piece of fabric, they could do what they wanted. And there are a lot of nudes. In religious painting and sculpture there are a lot of nudes, too – Christ is portrayed nude, angels are portrayed nude. We were all born naked.”
