"The Seventeen Watch" by Givenchy

Givenchy has unveiled a brand new watch line available in six colour and material combinations. The last line of watches by the Parisian brand was discontinued back in 2009.

Named 'The Seventeen' after creative director Riccardo Tisci's lucky number, the watch will be available exclusively at upmarket boutiques such as Colette in Paris; Barneys in New York and Beverly Hills; Milan boutique 10 Corso Como; Boon the Shop in Seoul; and London's Selfridges as well as select Givenchy stores. Set to go on wider release in September, the watch will retail from €590-€690.

After a no-show at the haute couture shows in January, the label has confirmed that it will be sitting out a second season in a row, citing a packed schedule. Tisci has busied himself this year creating tour costumes for popstars Rihanna and Beyoncé, as well as dressing the stars of a new ballet directed by his friend Marina Abramovic. The brand's couture atelier will remain open though, creating new bespoke gowns.

Set to run from July 1-4 this year, the Paris haute couture shows see the biggest names in fashion show off the skills of their secretive ateliers.
