IT HAS ONLY BEEN a little over one year and five months since Alessandro Michele was appointed the Creative Director at Gucci after over 12 years working behind the scenes at the Gucci design studio, and in that time, he has not only revitalized the 95-year-old Italian brand, thrilled both critics and the rest of the fashion world alike, but is also set to receive the International Award at the 2016 CFDA Awards in three days. His bright eclecticism and focus on the freedom of personal expression has captured our hearts and imaginations — here is a look at the Gucci Resort 2017 collection and our favourite looks held recently at Westminster Abbey in London . . .
WHOEVER SAID WOMEN DRESS FOR MEN had fashion all wrong. In fact, women dress for themselves and their own pleasure, as is beautifully illustrated in the Vogue Paris editorial shot by Mikael Jansson. There is a woman…she is all alone, but unstoppable in her quest for la vie en rose...
NUEVOS TERRITORIOS, or new territories, is the title of this editorial cover shoot for Spanish Vogue. Model Andreea Diaconu is shown in a ranch in the South American countryside amongst wild horses and vast grasslands, redefining the rough gaucho style in sophistication. There were intricately woven ponchos, knits and loosely tied silk scarves, and a dreamy tiered point d’esprit and tulle Valentino minidress that looks as comfortable in untamed nature as it would at a chic Parisian soirée.
