Waight Keller stripped the punk from Givenchy but retained Tisci’s streetwise narrow tailoring; she brought a little breezy femininity from Chloé but left the whimsical, soft-focus dreaminess behind. But Waight Keller, who has quietly built a stellar career on slow-burn success, could build Givenchy into a powerhouse of the centre ground.
