Gucci dresses. Large check in women's bows. Floral prints in Gucci looks
The show of Alessandro Michele's new collection for the Italian House of Gucci ended in Milan, the guests of which were Miroslava Duma, Elizabeth Olsen, Carine Roitfeld and other stars. However, whether new or old, the “wow” effect of the designer’s work could be forgotten after the first show, because all the designer’s collections presented since then, one after another, gradually merged into one. Back in January, we knew exactly what to expect from Alessandro Michele in the spring, when we made a forecast for the future, and now real, pret-a-porter collection after the show men's line, which usually serves as a “hint” to a feminine theme.
Our verdict then sounded like this: in the new season, as in the past and the year before, Michele is relying on vintage. Indeed, having “infected” a good half of London designers who can’t imagine next fall without all of the above, Michele himself does not abandon his “familiarity”, but begins to occasionally visit the archives, which I previously disavowed with the words:
I don't want to be a prisoner of the archive. I always start from an idea. My idea is in the subjective memory of what has been lived, and not in objective historical facts. That’s why the public gradually began to perceive Michele’s collections for Gucci as a “circle of interests”: you either caught the wave, share the designer’s vision and are completely in love with his heroes, or you don’t. And the development of the plot from collection to collection is solely the responsibility of your “subjective perception” and imagination, which allows you to find a way to extract one bright thing from a complete image and write it off for your own everyday wardrobe. The designer prepared a surprise for those who were especially devoted and patient - he returned to Gucci a generous share of that sensuality of the 70s, on which the entire philosophy of the brand was based in the era of Frida Giannini.
Every brand has a soul, and the soul of Gucci is the 70s. From now on, lurex, colored leather and dresses a la candy wrappers are side by side with the iconic high-waisted culottes of that era, wide-brimmed hats, bomber jackets and woolen jackets. pantsuits, as well as turbans, fur coats and trapeze dresses.
Otherwise, the designer only exaggerates what he has seen before: he brings the psychedelia of prints to its apotheosis, turning it into surrealism. Hence the direct references to the work of Elsa Schiaparelli with her favorite technique of “trompe l’oeil” - visual trompe l’oeil. If Schiaparelli covered dresses with images of holes imitating tears in the fabric, then Mikkele draws folds of ruffles and flounces and fluttering flaps of a long coat, creating dresses that look like the outfits of princesses from a children's coloring book - know to color with bright markers and do not go beyond the black outline. However, lace, ruffled dresses of a touching eccentric librarian, colorful appliqués, deliberately worn furs and monoprints (this time in Asian aesthetics) are also in no hurry to leave the Gucci catwalk.
House of Gucci is one of the largest manufacturers fashionable clothes, perfumes and accessories. The history of this internationally recognized leader in the fashion industry is quite long and complicated. Today, it is one of the companies considered trendsetters. The images presented by the designers of the Gucci fashion house at Milan Fashion Week are chosen as a reference point by many global fashion manufacturers.
The world of Gucci is amazing and unusual. Each collection released under this brand has its own charisma, surprising and impressing fashionistas with sometimes unexpected combinations and design solutions. Alessandro Michele’s new collection for the fall-winter season 2017-2018, called “The Alchemist’s Garden,” came out exactly like this, bright, unexpected and enchanting.
Concept of the Gucci fall-winter 2017-2018 collection
Michele himself said that his collection for Gucci fall-winter 2017-2018 is a “laboratory of anti-modernity,” because the designer was inspired by images of women of the second half of the 20th century. IN fashionable looks successfully combined:

- pretentious sparkles and creative images of UFOs;
- lush Victorianism and asceticism of the “librarian” style;

- bright plain tights as a stylish color accent;
- classic nude models with the brand logo for multi-color looks.
Pink matte tights look very impressive in combination with the skin and highlight the slenderness of the legs. The shade Grenadine from the basic ten goes perfectly with the tone Marina, and Autumn Maple with an elegant white dress.

Lots of love and amazing points. This would be one way to express the most vivid impressions of the Gucci spring-summer 2017 collection.
However, this was not the only thing that pleased and shocked me, of course. Let's talk about everything in more detail.
So, about love. Somewhat infantile and absolutely feminine features are associated with various symbols about this theme. Neck jewelry with the inscription “Beloved” and hearts – that’s what the models on the catwalk were full of. But the length of dresses and skirts was the most modest: to the floor or below the knees. Where are the fashionable minis promised this season? No. But the emphasis of the Gucci spring-summer 2017 collection is on the chest. Bright bras as a separate item outerwear right here.
Of particular note are the colors of the products: orange, yellow and pink, apparently, are Gucci's main favorites. Why not? Spring, after all.
In fashion long skirt— trends in the Gucci spring-summer 2017 collection 
Gucci shoes spring-summer 2017 should be worn exclusively with tights or socks. The stylists are convinced. Even if it's sandals. In principle, such things will not surprise us. But, it’s always worth creating something new even in something familiar, the fashion house decided. And presented to the audience "boots - transformers" : a thick bright stocking, and on top - wonderful white sandals.
By the way, this will probably be very convenient for our fellow countrymen, who at the end of winter - beginning of spring decided to go to warm countries: they walked to the plane in boots, and on the plane they took off their stockings and that’s it - summer shoes are already on their feet.
More about shoes in the Gucci spring-summer 2017 collection
The flat ride is popular in the 2017 season. However, if splashing through puddles is not your thing, choose Gucci shoes with a flat but high platform. Beautiful, but apparently not very comfortable. By the way, there should be flowers on shoes. At least in the form of a print, or at least attaching a couple of artificial inflorescences is necessary.
There were plenty of floral motifs on the catwalk. The male model is especially good, wearing either a dress or a raincoat like this: pink with yellow roses, over trousers and a formal shirt with a tie. I wonder if this decoration was intended for handsome men with an unconventional vision of life, or could a child be dressed like this for school instead of a uniform? The main thing is that the teacher does not beg to wear a couple of things for herself.

Gucci spring-summer 2017 has a lot of ruffles and frills, as well as “square” shoulders, coming from the 80s. Let's add incredible huge and sparkling glasses here, and we'll start getting ready for a retro party.
If you're tired of handbags, then stock up on Gucci fans. These are the fans worn by models on the catwalk. Still, we expect warming soon. It's a pity that they don't have a pocket for mobile phone. Okay, you’ll have to carry it in your hands: you’ll still have to take selfies.
And finally, let’s note: Gucci is confident that nothing makes a woman look better than naturalness. If you are too lazy to put on makeup in the morning, well done. And although the models on the catwalk looked somewhat pale, they were very natural. The main thing is to get enough sleep. Because a beautiful skin color is simply necessary.
