A couture house founded in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy, who had worked under Jacques Fath, Robert Piguet and Lucien Lelong, and who often said his true mentor was Cristóbal Balenciaga. He met Audrey Hepburn in 1953; she became a friend and a muse. Perfumery began in 1957 with Le De and L'Interdit, the latter inspired by her. He sold the house to LVMH in 1988 and retired in 1995.
