“Without all of you, I could not have brought my vision for Givenchy to life in such a beautiful way.”
“I am now looking forward to embarking on the next episode. Love and creativity remain central to what I do, and who I am, as does a heartfelt belief in kindness, and the courage to be true to your art. See you soon, and most importantly, stay safe. Love, Clare.”
