Gucci from the ‘90s and early 2000s has been hot on the vintage market, with Bella Hadid, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus among the celebrities who have worn the cutout gowns, feathered jeans and burnout velvet minidresses that helped Ford define a fashion era. It’s true there wasn’t anything particularly new or directional here, but it was a smart placeholder until the brand’s new creative director Sabato de Sarno begins. Models emerged from a bank of elevators as if they’d just finished being assembled downstairs in the Gucci lab (or archives). At the show on Friday, there were no less than two dozen stars (Dakota Johnson, A$AP Rocky, Beth Ditto, Julia Garner…) sitting on the sustainable leather banquettes in the show space, which was kitted out like a lounge with plush chartreuse carpeting and two sunken conversation pits full of influencers. Indeed, if Gucci has been struggling with revenues as of late, its celebrity capital is still intact (minus Michele twin Jared Leto). It wasn’t difficult to imagine Victoria De Angelis, sitting front row with the rest of her band, rocking that on a red carpet, which is a win. Bah.Ĭue the first look, a teenie tiny chain mesh GG bra top, worn with a black duchesse satin skirt and opera gloves.
