Gucci : Risky Extravagance




Frida Giannini, the creative director of the prestigious brand Gucci, made it to the cover of the special issue of Vogue Magazine, displaying all fashion weeks from Milan to New York.
The catwalk witnessed elegance when the designer displayed flowers and feather embroidery climbing the arms and finishing on the neck, and silk long dresses which was a really nice collaboration!
But what interested me was the wilder aspect of the show, the instinctual one, the one with snake leather, heavy fur, crazy feather and chaotic colors producing a warm catchy image; as seen above, the retro images of the 40s - 70s women, with a masculine-feminine contrast and a more festive touch of the God Father. These looks that seemed somehow bizarre in the show received great criticism from fashion bloggers online. The mix of woody brown, with flamboyant purple and a blooding red is too risky, but in the case of Frida , the result was total classiness. Once again, Gucci didn't disappoint his fans!
