Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci’s work of art for Jay-Z and Kanye West’s collaborative album Watch the Throne has been made public. Riccardo Tisci’s obvious fascination for Gothic touches and space-age minimalism, even though receiving mixed feedback from the fashion critics, have unquestionably revitalized Givenchy as a brand. Tisci’s sense of imagination and precision are apparent in the album’s artwork.

“I am honored to have been asked to be part of this incredibly music moment with such amazing artists,” Riccardo Tisci said. “I am impressed by the amount of respect they have for music and art. We share a same way of working: like a family.”

Seeing the use of animal print and religious images used in the album’s art work, both Givenchy and Riccardo Tisci have left their signature prints on Jay-Z and Kanye West’s new album. The result is not only a work of art for the ear, but also for the eye.
