Givenchy has released its 2015-2016 Autumn/Winter season advertisement featuring Versace creative director Donatella Versace.

Donatella Versace has been appointed as one of this season's female icons. Givenchy has previously used actresses such as Julia Roberts and Carine Roitfeld, who also stylisted the visuals, but this is the first time they have employed a designer from another fashion house.

The brand explained the reason for featuring Donatella Versace this time as "strong, independent, unique and charismatic women strongly resonate with the Givenchy code." The visual artistic director is Riccardo Tisci, who is also the creative director, and the photographers are Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, with M/M Paris also on the production team.
