Claire Waight Keller is taking a step back from her usual elegance and taking a trip on the wilder side for her latest collection. The British designer, who is the creative director of Givenchy, put her latest collection on display at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. The theme for the Radical Nobility collection was feathers and tulle. The models served drama as they walked the runway in dramatic pieces. Ivory and black pieces made up the majority of the show, while some models wore ensembles that popped with color. One model wore an ivory gown that was adorned with feathers. Another wore a white suit with a feathered headpiece.

For Claire, it was all about taking a channeling her rebellious spirit while honoring the traditions of the fashion house. “I wanted to step it up a notch for myself, to push it into something that has a little more theatre," she told Vogue. She continued: "It's the idea of an anarchic woman who comes through the chateau and all of the elements of what you'd find there. I like the idea that the chateau wasn't perfect. It was part of the way I discovered the spirit and the girl of this show.”

Claire made a name not only for her designs at Givenchy, but for her amazing design for Meghan Markle’s wedding dress. The Duchess of Sussex’s bespoke gown included a silk tulle veil that was hand-embroidered with flowers that represent the 53 countries in the commonwealth.
