The reinvention of Gucci. Alessandro Michele- the men of the year

26/12/201516/01/2016 | Syuzena Pitz

The collections which Alessandro Michele has unveiled from the beginning of his tenure can “love or hate” – so many people are dreaming to have some pieces from Michele’s collections but same time a lot of persons find it simply ridiculous. Every piece is a statement. From the first collection Michele’s Gucci stands for surrealism, androgyny and luxury.

The Gucci’s revenues are growing up and one unknown designer has been changing the fashion trends all over the world. This unknown designer is Alessandro Michele, who was named International Fashion Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards.

Michele made a colourfull waves on the red carpets. Only some names, such Gwyneth Paltrow, Salma Hayek, Dakota Johnson were wearing Gucci in the annual LACMA Gala in Los Angeles last year.

But let us go back in time, exactly – In 2004 Tom Ford and his business partner Domenico De Sole brought the Gucci back to the Fashion scene, they brought the Italian leather goods business back from the brink of bankruptcy and transforming it into the most desirable fashion brand in the world. (Do you know that in 2015, Tom Ford was named one of GQ’s 50 best dressed men. He also received a CFDA Fashion Award for Menswear designer of the year.)

During Frida Giannini tenure Gucci became known for its strong product focus but the fashion is a business and the revenues must grown up, so after years of profitable growth , Gucci started to loose and it was time to make a changes.

In December 2014, Marco Bizzarri was settling into a role as head of the Luxury Couture & Leather Goods division of Kering . And Mr. Bizzarri made a right choice, he choosed Alessandro Michele who replaced Frida Giannini . Alessandro Michele who had worked behind the scenes at Gucci for 12 years, got the chance of his life. He had only few weeks -or maybe one week?- to create his first men fall 2015 collection , for womens ready-to-wear fall 2015 he had one week. It was success. From the first collection Michele’s Gucci stands for surrealism and androgyny but the newness each season is essential. In the spring/summer 2016 collection there are more sheer fabrics, more heels, more dresses. It seems that aesthetic of Michele’s Gucci started to move away from androgyny to more feminility.

Michele’s success is not measured in monthes , not at all. Gucci customers and Michele fan’s are loving the summer 2016 and pre-fall 2016 collections because fashion lovesnothing more that individuality and originality and Alessandro Michele has both of it and we can see this qualities in his creations.

Michele’s collections can see everywhere, from red carpets to Instagram fashion community.

Only some names, such Gwyneth Paltrow, Salma Hayek, Dakota Johnson were wearing Gucci in the annual LACMA Gala in Los Angeles last year.

And the Instagram community , social medias and bloggers are sharing shimmer vintage runway looks and Pictures of the backless, high-heeled loafers . Social Networks users made their choice ( as example : Gucci actually has 6,9 millions followers on Instagram , Olivier Rousteing has only 2,1 millions, Balmain 3,5 millions )

In this time – don’t forget that the fashion weeks carousel is began yet-not only the Gucci customers but the whole fashion world is attended the Gucci womenswear collection for fall-winter 2016. In one month Alessandro Michele will unveiled us his collection and will tell us what and where he get his inspirations during the creating process.

Here are a few photos of runway Looks from Gucci Spring/Summer 2016 collection.

Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection – Paris Fashion Week

Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection, creativ director Nicolas Ghesquière.Vuitton get it right when it hired Nicolas Ghesquière who presented another stellar collection at the Frank Gehry-designed Fondation yesterday morning on the final day of Paris Fashion Week offering colored biker jackets and shiny Dresses.

A computerised voice introduced the spring/summer 2016 show as „A journey to the frontiers of the digital era“. A conversation between technology and nature animated the new collection, his most audacious yet for the LV House.

Ghesquière’s cyberpunks wore moto jackets and metal-embroidered skirts, laser-cut leathers and beaded knits that coded like armor, and spaceship-print pants. The materials looked high-tech but were actually not synthetics at all. What with the nailhead-embroidered peasant dresses, the crafty sweaters, and the festival-girl crop tops and shorts, Vuitton Spring looked a lot like a digital bohemia.Who knew where Ghesquière’s spirited parade of intergalactic punky girls were headed?

Front row : actresses Catherine Deneuve and Michelle Williams, models also wore striped knits, shiny mesh tank tops, tops with ruffle collars, bubble skirts, jumpsuits and jodhpur-like trousers bearing colorful Patchwork.

Valentino Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection – Paris Fashion Week

06/10/201507/10/2015 | Syuzena Pitz

At Valentino, on the penultimate day of Paris Fashion Week, the fashion Insiders stopped filming and snapping photos with their phones and they and gave Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli not just a well-deserved round of applause, but a cheering standing ovation..

Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli made a research which resulted in the gorgeous fusions between Italian and African traditions. They met in the textiles and tailoring and the way the roman influences Chiuri and Piccioli had used in their couture show segued into tribal treatments—the strips of leather that began as a Gladiator reference became studded; the roman sandals gained carved ebony heels; the pagan necklaces of their former show now appeared in white ceramic, suggesting abstracted teeth or shells; and the house expertise in embroidery produced tiny beaded Masai-derived patterns and bold peacock feather trims.There were also the african prints depicting tribal scenes of leopards, rhinos, giraffes and elephants, kinetic geometric tribal markings, while cuffs and necklines exploded in quills and peacock feathers. Fringing is a mainstay here and it swished in tiered raffia to make up a coat, and from suede miniskirts and capes. A series of tie-dye pieces – a jacquard coat, cargo jacket and pair of flares were also standout. And then came the fragile lace maxi dresses, so delicate they could almost evaporate right there and then. More prêt-a-couture than ready-to-wear, this collection never pandered or dumbed down its chosen theme.

Chanel Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection – Paris Fashion Week

For the occasion, Lagerfeld transformed the Grand Palais into a mock airport terminal complete with baggage check, numbered gates, a departures and arrivals board which listing past Chanel destination show locales, and baggage carts stamped with double-C logos. In the front row were Chanel muses : Lily-Rose Depp, Vanessa Paradis and Cara Delevigne.

And Edie Campbell opened the show in a multicolored tweed jumpsuit with silver sandals and a silvery headband, toting a black Chanel rolling suitcase and carryall.The airplane motif carried from the set onto the clothing and accessories, with one dress patterned like an arrivals board, and a sweater and pair of knit pants set in a repeating airplane intarsia. The red, white, and blue airplane pins that adorned some looks will make it possible for any ensemble to be ready for travel from the Chanel terminal.Many looks featured backward baseball caps. When they didn’t, the models’ hair was worn with several headbands and pulled back into two low pigtails at the nape of the neck.

Amidst the flowing dresses and loose casualwear came a section of proper ladies, ready to take to the sky in style. With sharply tailored tweed suits and iconic flap bags, these looks harkened back to a time when dressing up for travel was de rigueur.

And for his bow, Lagerfeld picked up two of his frequent collaborators from the front row, Delevingne and Hudson Kroenig dressed as a Pilot, and walked with them around the set.
