Williams will start his new position on Tuesday and unveil his
first collection for Givenchy in October in Paris, the brand
said. He is known for starting his own high-end streetwear
label, Alyx, and has worked on costumes for pop singer Lady
Gaga.
Givenchy recently parted ways with designer Clare Waight Keller,
who designed Meghan Markle's wedding dress for her marriage to
Britain's Prince Harry.
The storied couture house has been looking to revive sales of
items such as accessories and handbags, which often help bump up
margins.
