For Cruise 2014, the Gucci woman soars towards a sun-soaked horizon. With her sights set on Rio de Janeiro, Creative Director Frida Giannini envisions rhythmic glamour pulsating to the tide: “A collection of all my getaway essentials, designed for an up and coming Jerry Hall beaming with breezy style.”

Relaxed lines and oversized proportions. Jumpsuits and outerwear belted at the waist like a luxurious nightgown. Tunics paired with masculine, fluid pants for a powerful yet soft attitude. Strikingly feminine overalls and long shirt dresses. The new kimono gown or the wrap dress with asymmetrical pleats. Informal and everyday, athletic references work their way into the collection with bombers, windbreakers, basketball-inspired t-shirts, maxi shorts. Sweetheart infatuation outlined by dresses that tie and gather at the bust with a bikini knot, knee-length circle skirts and emphasized waistlines.

Materials as light as sea foam. Subtle nuances from sand and pearl, to rust and copper, through to ochre yellow, nectarine, nude blush, coral, passion fruit, lagoon green, kiwi and raspberry. Ultra reflective with iridescent silk twill one-pieces, all-over thermosealed crystal embroidery on matching tops and pants, woven lurex. Lightweight leather undergoes new interpretations with metallic laminations for a laser-cut trench or t-shirt dress.

Florence, Italy – Gucci Museo is pleased to announce Joana Vasconcelos as the fourth contemporary art exhibition of works, on loan from Pinault Collection with thanks to M. Franҫois Pinault.

Curated by Francesca Amfitheatrof Gucci Museo presents 3 exemplary works: Red Independent Heart (2010), Psycho (2010) and Lavoisier (2011).

Vasconcelos’ art practice is characterized by a decontextualisation of the familiar – be they household objects, plastic spoons or national icons – and the deconstruction of how we identify things, particularly gender, class, and nationality. There is a political current to Vasconcelos’ work: the revolution of 1974 and the stifling patriarchal culture of the Salazar years form the backdrop and counterpoint to her ferociously energetic reinvention of Portuguese, and specifically female, identity.Perhaps more importantly, she incorporates traditional Portuguese crafts such as crochet, filigree and ceramics into her work, both as art practice and as historical subject matter.
