Gucci bringing sexy back

More more. Crazy issue Gucci is bringing sexy back. Great, sassy white suits opened the show, cut long in the lapel, tight at the shoulder and short in the pant, they were rocker yet gentlemanly.
These were followed by punchy check suits - a tad loud, but craftily slick.
Italian designers have a uncanny ability to take UK looks that are not quite good taste - these checks were the sort turf accountants might sport at Newmarket - and make them work in a Continental context.
Flat caps of the type ticket touts sport would look ridiculous in a men’s show in London, but here in Milan they added just the right sort of theatrical element.
Half way into the show, Giannini jumped across The Pond and rifled thru references to Steve McQueen style bikers.
Once again, she made it her own with giant crystal glitz G logos on soft collar shirts, micro leather blousons, chunky metal belts and heavily grommeted baseball jackets.
After a cautious few seasons in men’s wear it was good to see Frida get close and personal with that traditional Gucci currency - sex appeal.

Sex appeal. Well, sex does sell.
