You provided me with endless fashion inspiration, my favourite movies' wardrobes and your legacy was destroyed by an African and his Fat Armenian Wife. Rest in fashion peace, Mr Givenchy. P.S Don't make any room for your next fashion roommate, Lagerfeld.

They turned Givenchy from classic gorgeousness like Breakfast at Tiffany's or How to Steal a Million etc, to the Kayne and Kim Ghetto Show when Riccardo Tisci took over (aka Kayne's bitchboy). Everywhere Riccardo was, Kanye was. It was really what kicked off the Kardashian's foray into the high fashion "world".
All the kids know about Givenchy now is gaudy dog print shirts and Kayne. (I had one of those Doberman t-shirts, it was junk quality.) Pre-LVMH Givenchy was a million times better. It's similar to what they've done with YSL - turning it into Saint Laurent and making it gaudy street wear ghetto shit.

This hurts. I have a lot of respect and admiration for Stephen Hawking and his achievements because he didn't sit around like a tumblrina whining about how unfair and ableist life is. He adapted when his illness made another move on him and he kept going and he got shit done.

Excuse my sperging. He is one of my heroes and geez the tears are really coming out now.

May the stars welcome you, good sir.
