Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this here Givenchy thing, or whatever you call it. Folks say it’s some fancy-schmancy brand, real high-falutin’ stuff.

What’s this Givenchy anyways?
I heard tell it all started way back when, in 1952, by some fella named Hubert. He must’ve been a smart one, ’cause now everybody’s talkin’ ’bout his Givenchy. They say he made clothes for that movie star, what’s her name? Oh yeah, Audrey somethin’. She was a real pretty thing, always dressed to the nines.
Now, they say this Givenchy is all about bein’ luxurious, ya know? Luxury brand, that’s what they call it. Means it’s expensive, I reckon. Not somethin’ us regular folk would wear to slop the hogs, that’s for sure.
- They make clothes,
- and perfumes,
- and who knows what else.
Stuff for rich folks, I guess.
I seen some pictures, though. Them clothes, they look alright, I s’pose. But I ain’t payin’ a king’s ransom for a shirt, no sirree. I can get a good sturdy one down at the general store for a few dollars, and it’ll last me just fine.

Givenchy’s got that fancy touch, they say. Sophisticated designs, they call it. And perfect craftsmanship. Well, I reckon my grandma’s quilts had perfect craftsmanship too, and she didn’t charge nobody an arm and a leg for ’em.
This Hubert fella, he wanted his stuff to be the best. He wanted it to be elegant and all that jazz. And I guess he done it, ’cause now everybody knows about Givenchy. It’s a big deal, they say. International fashion, that’s what it is.
I heard tell this Givenchy brand is growin’ faster than a weed in a cornfield. They say it’s worth billions now. Billions! Can you imagine? That’s more money than I ever seen in my whole life. And it’s all ’cause of them fancy clothes and perfumes.
There’s some fella named Matthew somethin’ or other, he’s the big cheese at Givenchy now. Creative director, they call him. I guess he’s the one makin’ all the decisions now. He’s gotta keep them rich folks happy, I reckon. Keep ’em buyin’ them expensive clothes.
Givenchy – Is it really worth it?

Now, I ain’t sayin’ there’s anything wrong with Givenchy. If folks wanna spend their money on that stuff, that’s their business. But me? I’ll stick to my plain cotton dresses and my sturdy work boots. They’re comfortable and they get the job done. And that’s all that matters to me.
This whole fashion thing, it’s a mystery to me. Why folks gotta pay so much for clothes, I just don’t get it. But then again, I’m just an old woman who ain’t got much use for fancy things. I’d rather have a good garden and a warm house than all the Givenchy in the world.
But hey, if Givenchy makes some folks happy, then I guess it’s alright. It takes all kinds to make a world, as they say. And who am I to judge? I’m just glad I got a roof over my head and food on the table. That’s more than some folks got, and I ain’t complainin’. Givenchy or no Givenchy, life goes on, and that’s the truth.
So, that’s what I know ’bout this Givenchy. Not much, I admit. But it’s more than I knew yesterday, that’s for sure. And if you ask me, it’s all a bunch of hooey. But that’s just my two cents. You take it or leave it.
Givenchy: A final word

I’ve heard that Givenchy is doing well and the brand is growing fast and is now known for being high-end. Well, I guess good for them. Maybe if they ever make a nice apron, then I might just look at buying one. Until then, I’ll just keep on keeping on, ya know?
