Gucci Women’s Pre-Fall 2017 Collection, captured by Derek Ridgers, Creative Director, Alessandro Michele, chose two iconic historical locations in Rome to shoot this collection – Antica Libreria Cascianelli, an old bookstore specializing in heraldry and art history and Antica Spezieria di Santa Maria della Scala, a 16th century apothecary.
With over eighty looks in total, there is no shortage of embellishments and pattern play. From black jaguars to rabbits to tigers, Michele showcased playful animal motifs.
For a touch of fantasy, the Italian designer even decorated pieces with dragons, Bows and florals adorned many styles ranging from dramatic gowns to skirt and jacket sets. One could also find Gucci woman in relaxed pajama silhouettes as well as leather jackets and casual t-shirts, embroidered boots and sparkling flats. Bags come in oversized totes as well as leather miniatures tied around the waist.
