Gucci @ Milano Fashion Week

With Gucci as the subject of discussion at Milano Fashion Week which opened yesterday, colour is object that has set bar for the spring season of 2013, and its being done in a way never been done before by the major fashion house. With solid block colours in the likes of azalea pink, cobalt blue, citrus yellow, coral, and turquoise,  Giannini also teased the audeince with a touch of print mixed up between the solids; these prints had a sense of Japanese ethnicity that didnt come accross to oriental fro my taste as that was so last year.
 

 

 

This is surely the last thing the Frida Giannini wants to hear but I cannot stop visualizing a 21^st century Brady Bunch in this collection. The full trousers, exaggerated cuffs and ruffles that don’t stop for days, furnished my mind with an entire new perspective on the late 60’s early 70’s. The first time I saw the collection I was instantly schooled on what ruffled perfection should truly look like.
 

 

 

Personally I don’t think the black garments at the tail end of the show, did the prior ensembles justice. Regarding the white creations that were scattered around; now these where pure works of genius, especially the long sleeved, surface sweeping gown with a neckline submerged in coral embellishments, made my heart skip a few.
