One who loves to seduce mixing vanity and tradition? He changes skin in the double-breasted coat and trench in crocodile and ostrich. The collection is a hypnotic, intellectual palette, luxurious shades, with nuances of pearl and earth. Soft mohair sweaters, tailored suits, subtle biker touches, rock ’n roll furs. The Gucci Autumn Winter 2011-2012 Collection becomes a kaleidoscopic story where the only rule is a strong personality.
“The year 2011 marks our 90th anniversary,” explains Creative Director Frida Giannini, “I have explored Gucci’s codes from many perspectives reintroducing elements from the DNA with the 70s and the spirit of dressing iconic men as a reference." Fluid tailoring, Sartorial blazers, with tone-on-tone stitching, defined shoulders and striking lapels are enriched with striped handkerchiefs and geometric ties. The Pants are with pleats and canvas belts open up to ankle boots and moccasins with tassels. Casual chic for suit separates with cashmere crewnecks, angora sweaters and paper-like shirts. Suede inserts on the riding jackets and quilted lining inspired by horse-riding blankets. Winter jackets in maxi tweed and vintage style. Snaps with tusks and crocodile straps underline a forever deluxe spirit.
A nocturnal symphony glorified by rockmantic accents. Black tuxedos, black ties and shirts with horizontal pleats on the plastron are in dusty shades for a damned poet. Prominent lapels, with eye-catching edges that contrast materials rule the dramatic tuxedo overcoats. The Gucci accessories sketch the latest style guide with the first Gucci men’s Bamboo bag, with a blackened handle, destined to be the next must-have, in a travel size that is the season’s fill rouge. Historical carry-on bags, originally intended for shirts and shoes, become shoulder and weekend bags, with signature key-closure buckles. There is washed leather for a lived-in look, pigskin and buffalo as soft as fabric, a pied de poule print, a new web, a chromatic stamp in variants of caramel. The brief-bag, foldable like a newspaper.
