Gucci Romance

I know it has been absolutely FOREVER since I posted up a review but hey life got in the way, in a BIG way. Anyway back with the fashion, I am starting with Gucci. I know this show was a while ago and you probably all have seen plenty of reviews for it but... Frida Giannini is my new hero and I cannot pass up reviewing this stunner of a collection! 










She has had show stopper collections one after the other and this season, Frida turns the tables. There was something of a dark romanticism, it was dark it was dreary but it was beautiful. The color palette revolved around blacks, dark browns, plum and a splash of royal green. the romance came in with the loose shapes, the rich tapestry and the sea of velvet. For me this show was a signal of a new woman, a woman I wanna be! She was soft in her fabric, dark in her colors and strong through the menswear influence. The Gucci woman this season is soft, feminine but strong and powerful. What an amazing combination. 








My jaw just about dropped to the floor when the evening-wear came rolling out. All I could think about was if Tim Burton and Gucci were stuck in a room that is what would have come walking out. Definite show stopper gowns, its a brave and daring woman who walks out in those. No doubt that these will be doing the red carpet and socialite circuit as soon as they are off the runway.


In case you didn't catch on I am in love with this!

Gucci






Last year Frida Giannini brought us the iconic Gucci collection, which would be a tough collection for any designer to follow. This season, the collection was a good attempt. Gucci's 90th birthday is coming up and to commemorate this event there will an opening of the new Gucci Museo.

Frida went with an art deco motif throughout the collection this season. The designer used the strong vibrant colors (see green on top) reminiscent of last year.  The art deco is present in the strong lines and tailoring. As well as in the amazing red carpet looks. The fringe detail in the evening look is reminiscent of the 1920s flapper girl. Giannini did an amazing job in making the historical look modern. Another great collection under her belt for sure!
