Descendants of the founder of French luxury fashion house Givenchy have drawn attention by marrying a partner of Korean descent.
On the 23rd (local time), British media including the Daily Mail reported that Sean Taffin de Givenchy, a descendant of Givenchy's founder, married his Korean partner of the same age, Jeong Da-hye, last August.
According to foreign media, Sean and Jeong Da-hye held an extravagant three-day wedding in August at the Sainte-Clotilde Cathedral in Paris, which is owned by the Givenchy family. In particular, members of the Givenchy family and many prominent figures in the fashion world reportedly attended the event.
Sean and Jeong Da-hye met in 2018 at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. The two, who continued to grow their relationship, got engaged in New York last year and, after living together, prepared for the wedding for about a year.
The couple also revealed their love story in an interview with Vogue France. Sean said, "(Jeong Da-hye) was part of the event volunteer team, and I saw her helping with coat check, ticketing and handing out water bottles. At first I couldn't approach her, but when we met again I was able to get her phone number through friends' introductions."
The jewelry they wore at the engagement and wedding drew attention for being from Taffin, a bespoke jewelry brand under Givenchy operated by Sean's uncle, James de Givenchy. Taffin is also the brand Jeong Da-hye favored while completing her MBA at Columbia University in New York.
In addition, Jeong Da-hye attracted attention by wearing a dress by Victoria Beckham and a jacket by the Korean brand Kimhaegim as opening ceremony outfits, and by choosing a wedding dress made by Korean-born designer Andrew Kwon.
