Alessandro Michele’s Gucci is one of constantly blossoming flora and fauna, a thriving Eden where vibrant design can interact with the external world in both harmony and disparity. This methodology translates beyond just textiles and cuts—the historical house has made strides in rebranding its image into a driving force for contemporary inclusion. Taking this ideology one step further, Gucci attempts to subvert tradition by partnering with online luxury retailer Mr. Porter, crafting a direct-to-buy line of 43 pieces that utilize an Italian/English hybridity to ground visually loud garments within relatable parameters.

Spanning across men’s ready to wear and embracing the fashion house’s iconic tiger and bee logos, the vibrant colors and repetitive patterns are not uncommon for the brand—similar tropes can be seen in both the Pre-Fall 2017 and Spring/Summer 2017—though fashion collectors will be pleased to see an updated yellow label will accompany each piece, a differentiating exclusive. Clearly emerging from Gucci’s statement-making ideal, though here infused with Mr. Porter’s British sensibility, the collection toes the line between riot and regality with expert precision.
The Mr. Porter x Gucci capsule collection is available online now.
