...Can I be your main squeeze. - "Gucci Mane"
Of course we need to talk about the Gucci Spring 2018 show,
so lets get to it!
A little background, before we get to the goodies:
Alessandro Michele's (GOAT) inspiration came from multiple ancient civilizations, including his home city- Rome, but on the other end there was a 70's and 80's glam vibe, Disney Characters and even an Elton John collaboration! Michele's mantra and ideology for the Gucci show was:
Michele wanted the experience to be the main focus of the show, not necessarily the clothes. His goal was to create a "brave new world" where everyone can be free, the new world, per se, was a combination of Rome's history and keeping to the Gucci title as masters of the digital universe.
And that is exactly what he did, the set (presented in a hangar) had scale replica of statues and artifacts of the classical civilization of places like Rome and Greece, along with Egyptian gods, and even seating mummy's next to some people. Although the stage was set from ancient civilization the clothes were quite the opposite, he repped 80's glam with embellished work out joggers, intricate detail and sequins, sequins, and more sequins, embellishments, layered necklaces, and mix matched prints.
If you don't have serious FOMO yet, you are about to ... so lets dive into my favorite looks (it is so hard to pick) from the 110 piece collection and the incredible details and accessories (which I'm obsessed with- shocker.)

Now for the Details...honestly I'm salivating over.

| From Left to Right: you can see the 80's jogger inspiration the 2 dresses on the right end I could see being an Golden Globes or Oscar dress. The shape of the 4th dress in is very ancient Rome inspired. |
 |
| From left to right: I love this blazer, I love everything bows on it, and he did put a lot of bows down the runway. One thing that was constant thru out were the Fanny Packs - again very 80's work out girl. The suit on the end is Elton John inspired. |

| From Left to Right - If anyone knows me I have a serious sunglass obsession, I love the farthest left - its a bit extra but I'm sure every hip hop artist will be flexin with them. On the far left: heart sunglasses- I mean so nostalgic, I think I even still have a pair from when I was little, but obv may have to cop these to! The 4th form left - amazing statement necklace that embodies both ancient times (the material) along with new! |
 |
| The brown alligator (bottom left - I literally die), bottom center- same thing as last seasons "real gucci" bag, bottom right: I'm getting this for my puppy! Top right: This will be in every bloggers closet, Top middle: Gucci went back to their roots with this style, Top right: STUNNING!! There are no more I'm in LOVE. |
Anyway, Gucci is on another level right now, top of there game, and in every hip/hop song.
I believe Alessandro Michele is one of the only designers, that I could pull off a show like this, with ancient times decor with 80's glam and sequin coming down the runway; some of the dresses was where you can really see the connection of 2 opposite ends of the spectrum. What he has done for the Gucci Brand is next level.
