He departed with class, as he arrived, playing classical music and sharing his standing ovation with his entire atelier. Givenchy hands the bodkin of his eponymous house over to 34-year-old English designer JOHN GALLIANO, not such a classical-music kind of guy. Recently, Givenchy's relationship with his backers has been strained, but the couturier...
