That Julia Roberts lands GIVENCHY’S Spring 2015 campaign may not be as big of a news as GUCCI’S creative director Frida Giannini and CEO Patrizio di Marco stepping down. However, my personal relationship Mrs Roberts is more tangible and therefore spotlights on her today. Back in my New York hey-days I actually lived in the same building as her and her sister Lisa. We did casual stuff like doing laundry and exchanging banal conversations in the elevator. But my admire for her didn’t start here. It was probably at the same, as for many of you, when watching this giggling pretty woman charming Mr Gere. This is an interesting direction of Givenchy and kind of refreshing if you ask me.
