Riccardo Tisci was born on August 1, 1974, in Taranto, Italy. Growing up in a household with eight sisters, Tisci has frequently credited their influence for sparking his early passion for fashion. At the age of seventeen, he moved to London to pursue formal training in design, enrolling at the prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. He graduated in 1999, laying a strong foundation for his future career in high fashion.
Following his graduation, Tisci returned to Italy, where he worked with several well-known fashion labels, including Puma, Antonio Berardi, Ruffo Research, and Coccapani. After completing his contract with Ruffo Research in July 2004, he traveled to India to further develop ideas for his debut collection. That same year, Tisci organized a show in Milan, where he presented his first independent autumn/winter line for the 2005–2006 season. His unique style, blending gothic influences with romantic aesthetics, began attracting attention in the fashion industry.
In February 2005, Tisci was appointed Creative Director of Givenchy, overseeing the French fashion house’s haute couture, ready-to-wear, and accessories collections. The appointment was facilitated by LVMH Chief Operating Officer Antonio Belloni and Givenchy CEO Marco Gobbetti. Gobbetti praised Tisci’s work, stating that he brought an elegance that was “extremely current, very contemporary, and romantic at the same time.”
That July, Tisci debuted his first haute couture collection at Paris Fashion Week, marking the beginning of a transformative era for the brand. Over the years, Givenchy experienced both creative revival and commercial growth under Tisci’s leadership. His avant-garde designs and inclusive casting choices garnered widespread acclaim.
In 2008, Tisci gained further public recognition by designing stage costumes for Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet” tour. He continued to collaborate with her in 2009, including an outfit for the performance of her song "Candy Shop.” Tisci also created custom pieces for her off-stage wardrobe.
