I DEFINITELY clicked for the emerald green drapes! This is incredible. Imagine being there in person!
Right...Its so hard to find Green anything for decor....
@@dojocho1894 Green DRAPES. Is English your first language?
I think it's amazing he has drapes at all. How many people nowadays build exquisite homes and then refuse to put up curtains! Truthfully, qualified drapery makers are getting hard to find.
@@loosilu Im japanese I use a program to write english......
Right!!! I fell in love with that picture!!😱🥰
What a house… Magnificent.
He lived a truly grand life.
Indeed!!
A feast for the eyes, but the angel table was my favorite piece.
Indeed!! Welcome to the channel!!
A feast that could lead to obesity. Too over furnished, overdressed and over fussing for me.
Monsieur Hubert de Givenchy was my FAVORITE DESIGNER of ALL TIME!!! The OPULENCE of this SPECTACULAR HOME does NOT surprise me in the least!!! Simply BEAUTIFUL!!!!! He's missed...
Hi Sherman! Welcome to the channel!! He had such a fantastic mind!! A wonderful designer!!
More than any of the great fashion designers of the past 60 years, Hubert de Givenchy was the epitome of elegance. He designed clothes that had class and refinement, his choice of fabrics and colours were wonderful, clothes that could even be worn today. I went a while ago to Morges, Switzerland to see an exhibition of his close friend Audrey Hepburn's clothes he had designed for her, for films or her private use. For the last 13 years of her life, she had been living nearby, in Tolochenaz, near the city of Morges.
@@CulturedElegance THANK YOU for the welcome!! He really was, while I was in fashion school, I devoured everything I could get my hands on in regards to this, in my opinion, MASTER; I was going to say GENIUS but I think that's reserved for 'Karl" and rightly so!!! I'm trying to launch my own fashion line and believe me when I say Hubert is my greatest influence but with my own twist!!!!!
@@francinesicard464 WOW!!! How lucky and blessed you are to have been a part of such an amazing event!!! Yes, you are sooooo right, his creations dating back to his first collection would not only be relevant today but completely on point!!! Everything he did was completely timeless; and we must include the late great Monsieur Yves St. Laurent!! Ditto for him as well!!!! I'm trying to bring to fruition my fashion empire and I can only dream to be remotely as good as they were!!!! And to Miss Audrey Hepburn, no amount of words could describe this extraordinary individual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Magnificent home! I especially love the lighter rooms and tall windows that let in so much light. The furnishings, tall windows and drapery make me think of 1950's photos of the grand hotels of Paris. I'm glad the chateau has been taken good care of through the centuries. I share M. de Givenchy's love of green, especially emerald green.
Yes indeed!! Me too! So incredible. I agree, the emerald green is stunning
Oui au 18 ème siècle c'était la façon de faire... D ailleurs il faut savoir que les immeubles magnifique de Paris ont est hérité de cette façon de faire sur à l étage soble.
A stunningly beautiful residence. The dichotomy of style within shows an appreciation for exceptional taste and refinement of any period.
Agreed! So glad you enjoyed!
I am in love with all the gold and pops of luxurious greens. He is a true master of beauty, art and design. Magnificent!
Hi Chris! Love reading your comments!! I know!! Such a master of beauty with an excellent eye
Είναι αριστούργημα εξωτερικά κ εσωτερικά Μένεις άφωνος με τήν αισθητική τά έπιπλα τους πίνακες κ τά αντικείμενα τέχνης Ή παρουσία του μετρ εναρμονίζεται πλήρως με ότι κανείς βλέπει Εξαιρετικό κ τό βίντεο πού με ακρίβεια μοιρασε ότι είδαμε Μπράβο
Thanks for sharing! The interiors were exceedingly tasteful and timeless, representing well the more traditional legacy of the Givenchy brand!
Really amazing! Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of my all time favourite films and the exquisite Givenchy clothing designs only further enhance the beauty of the film itself.
Hi Dr. Richard! Thank you! Isn't it! Yes, such a great movie!! Excellent point! Welcome to the channel!
Arthur Bohemn… con el respeto que usted me puede merecer debo compartirle que … el hecho de que a usted no le guste un hogar tan elegante , clásico , vintage como el del Señor H. De Givenchy no quiere decir que … “ el que tiene razón es el que tiene comprensión de NO gustarle “. Pues se equivoca usted … lo que nos fascina tan espléndido hogar tenemos comprensión de que nos encante. O sea , usted tiene razón porque no le guste.. nosotros no.. por favor .. al menos disimule su ego y mal humor . Es un FABULOSO 👏👏 palacio el de Hubert de Givenchy que sirve de gran modelo y ejemplo a los mejores decoradores, arquitectos y diseñadores del mundo 🌍 de hoy👏👏
The emerald greens and soft gold tones are breathtaking...
Thank you for showing this beautiful home! 💚💛
Absolutely fabulous !
I am reading his biography and it's a fascinating read, starting out so simply and slowly moving up the ladder over many years sponsored by the incredible Cristobal Balenciaga (who must me turning in his grave at what they have done with his label). Balenciaga is the reason I work in fashion, I saw a program on his when I was young and decided there and then to become a designer.
Absolutely Fabulous
Spectacular! The green curtains & the lush green views. Loved the bottom floors not so much the top with it’s modern style. He was so immaculately dressed & he was very handsome too. Love his clothing.
Mrs. G y Lucie Melah 👏👏.. SI 👍 es magnífica, exquisitamente elegante y .. esas preciosas cortinas verdes son de “ ensueño “ 👏👏 WAO .. cuanta clase, bellezas en ese hogar espléndido a la vista de manera agradable. M . Givenchy todavía hoy recibes aplausos 👏 👏 a todo tu legado y a tu persona 👏👏 Un Coro de Ángeles te llevó a los brazos de Dios 🙏🏻 AMÉN
Is it just me,but are the balusters of the main staircase an "interesting" design?
Oh, it’s not just you 😳
Was looking for this comment... Not just you!
My goodness! So glad I am not the only one that noticed. Quite distracting!
Yup
Wow loved this

One word: MESMERISING
Quite true!!
Uncanning, I've never heard that word before. 1:54
Only if you're opening a tin of beans
Excellent share 💎💕🙏🏽 Hubert had the most exceptional taste. His homes are just divine.
Thank you!!! I completely agree!!
Tres tres chic 👌
Прекрасно!😍
Beautiful video 📸
I’m so glad you enjoyed!! Welcome to the channel
The brazilian high society icon, Mme. CARMEN THEREZINHA SOLBIATTI MAYRINK VEIGA was also a client and a private friend of Monsieur HUBERT DE GIVENCHY. Mme. MAYRINK VEIGA used to tell me how marvelous friends they were and the accurate couturier with full sense of aesthetics he was.
I miss them both.
Regards from Brasil!❤
Les latins que nous français nous sommes aussi ont le goût du beau et de l élégance. Au Brésil vous avez cela en vous.
More than magnificent home.
🌹🌹🌹❤
Very lovely
🙏❤.🌹🌹🌹❤
@@CulturedElegance It's true.
Как приятно, такая красота, культура❤❤❤
Givenchy reminds me of my own good aesthetics.
高雅❤很美❤
Love Audrey! Hate the Roman senator busts. Sweet location... and that desk!!!!
Right!!
Not sure about the Iman part. In the photo you showed, she was wearing Alaia. I have never seen her in Givenchy.
❤
❤😊
This is over the 🎩🎩🎩🔝 they choose their 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵 Muse's.
I'd like to have emerald green fabric on my headboard.
Me too!!!
Ev`ry night and ev`ry morn, some to misery are born;
ev`ry morn and ev`ry night, some are born to sweet delight.
Didn't Edith Head take credit for the wardrobe in Breakfast at Tiffany's and received an oscar ?
This kind of museum-like environment has nothing to do with the living needs of even the wealthiest people. Rather, they exist as a kind of stage for an individual's sense of self-importance. They may be gorgeous--but they're almost heartbreakingly discordant with the sense of proportion that people of understanding recognize.
I paid a bit of it 😮
🌈💝
If you look closely at the stair railings you will find a surprise in the design.
it looked much beter at magazines etc. kind of they knew how to show it, that means they felt it right. and its kind of 70-90s. not fkn bad
And he dressed Audrey Hepburn❤❤❤❤
I truly miss the original designers Givenchy Dior Chanel Balenciaga Yvette St Laurent, Lagerfield, where have you all gone!
I agree!
Yes, quite agree there. It wad an era when fashion made people dream, there was a great sense and understanding elegance, style cloth and fabrics. Sadly, the golden age of the haut couture has been street fashion !!
*Yves* St Laurent
I was surprised by how I decorated the main staircase was. Clearly, they want you to se the scale and focus on the statue and handrail.
The Hotel d'Orrouer was sold to Xavier Niel, a French tech billionaire, who will live there with his partner, Delphine Arnault per the NY Times last June.
She's the daughter of the world's richest man Bernard Arnault. Her father controls LVMH, and she's the CEO of Christian Dior (part of LVMH). However, LVMH does own Givenchy, too.
Is she related to Bernard Arnault of LVMH? He is married to Salma Hayek.
AH, she is his daughter. Delphine is also a billionaire and is a CEO of companies that are probably worth more than her husband's company. She's the richer and more powerful one in this marriage.
@@loosilu Maybe yes and maybe no.... She's the Executive VP of LVMH and CEO of Dior (one of LVMH's maisons). Her father owns 97.5% of Dior which in turn owns 41.4% of LVMH. He's worth $236 billion!!! All of Bernard's children, except the youngest, are heads of companies that are owned by LVMH. Wonder how they got those jobs so young? Hummm?
@@loosilu His only daughter (4 sons). And no, Salma Hayak is married to the head of Kering Francois-Henri Pinault. Kering is another owner of multiple luxury brands (Gucci, YSL, Boucheron, etc.).
lovelove forevers sweeties @w
Interesting to see Audrey Hepburn in her later years.
ricardo bofile, hubert de givenchy, and sid mead(painter of futurism) - triplex of best in oldmoney 😂
why not show the ruzzian ambassadors residence in rue de Grenelle??
Υπέροχο αλλά λιγότερο ωραίο από την κυρία που εκφράζει την ομορφιά κ την αριστοκρατικη παρουσία της πάνω στον καναπέ
Si il n y avait pas eu la Grèce antique l Europe ne serait pas comme ça et rien n existerait de tel en France c'est la continuation de la Grèce beauté élégance avec une certaine pensée. C'est pour cela que les français sont extrêmement attachés à la Grèce d ailleurs dans toute l Europe.
Mark 8:36-37 KJV
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Indeed!!! Amen
Semplicemente sarebbe ora che si chiudesse l' era dei sarti divi, i parrucchieri divi, attori divi, ecc. Ha stomacato la gente che vuole "il paradiso" solo per se' ......w chi sa che siamo una unica creatura
CLÁSICO Y ARTE APRECIABLE NO ES LUJO
A bit too much clutter for me.
Also the green i wouldnt use hehe
What color would you use?
@@CulturedElegance
Hi,
Maybe royal blue or gold are a better option.
Vivid pink and green are not colours that suit most people.
The palace was rented from the French government
i buyed his galsses for Ladys for me
what a busy, overly ornate horror.
The interiors are anything, but simple. Less is more.
Yeah, a bit over the top IMHO.
@@MTMF.london My sentiments too
Too rich for my taste.
It seems to be too much of a clutter!🤺🧐
"Cultured Elegance"????? "Simple Elegance"????? Nonsense!!!!! This house is horribly over-decorated!!!!!
😂 that is your opinion
@@CulturedElegance Yes, it certainly is!!!!
@@heliedecastanet1882 Eat your heart out!!!!
This was grand style il 1985...today it is passé?This green, this crème!
@@claudebousquet9413 It is more than merely passe'. It is, and always was, horrible!!!!!
Would prefer taking the elevator
Would be wonderful, if you create video of Stavros Niarchos senior Hôtel Particulier in Paris.
😍😍😍😍😍‼‼‼ However, as much as I ADORE Givenchys' MAGNFIQUE chateau, I am, very sorry to say that I'm even more REVOLTED and DISGUSTED by what this world has become insofar as residential homes have devolved horribly into. I'm an Independent Professional Photographer who specializes in shooting 1mil + dollar homes for sale in the midwest and I dabble in interior design. What 20,30 & 40 "somethings" now consider to be "good taste" makes me run to the toilet to wretch. I've learned that you have to be BORN with a good eye and an inherent balanced sense of EVERYTHING meaning light, color, intensity of that color, tactility, proportion, geometry, etc. etc. I've learned the intractable fact that most people, from the disgustingly rich to the terribly poor don't have ANY taste in their mouths, let alone between their ears as far as any kind of exterior or interior design goes. Money never was, is or will be a guarantee (or even a prayer) of good taste. I've done 1,000's of hours of staging with repeated success and I am astounded as to just how deep the ignorance of most people goes. Looking a this video is like looking at a dream in a Disney movie of another planet, 100's of years ago. It is beyond stunning!
Indeed!!! Isn’t it sad!! Another reason why this channel is so important at helping society see what unique and true taste is! What a fascinating story you have shared!! I agree money definitely is no guarantee of taste!! Loved reading your comment and everything you said!! Welcome to the channel! Next video will be on Karl Largerfeld’s impressive apartment
@@artandarchitecture6399 Yes, there are those who can be successfully educated & trained. However the majority of my experiences have proven the opposite and I was being honest.
@@artandarchitecture6399 i love your point!! indeed
You sound like one of those grumpy old misanthropes who think only they have taste and class and that everybody else is lacking. Good grief, what the world is coming to! 🙄🙄🙄
