The rumors were true. @gucci and @balenciaga came together on the runway to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Gucci!
In the year of Gucci’s centenary, Alessandro Michele opens the locks of history.
With Gvasalia’s permission, Michele used some of the Balenciaga designer’s iconic shapes and symbols, including the padded hip jacket of fall 2016 and spring 2017’s spandex peplum top and leggings.
“I like to mix, mold and work different languages and after [the film series directed with] Gus [Van Sant to present the previous collection last November] I felt like celebrating 100 years of Gucci, which is not only fashion, it’s the essence of fashion, it’s life and its great strength is being so popular. Gucci is a film, a song, a world, a character from a movie, a pop star,” Michele said.
In the new collection, called #GucciAria, we have crystal-covered hearts and a riding helmet with the words “SAVOY club”—a tribute to The Savoy London hotel where founder Guccio Gucci worked as a liftboy in his youth, the pieces from Hortus Deliciarum (Gucci’s High Jewelry collection).
Look at the details of #GucciAria collection!
