Gucci Has Canceled its Cruise 2021 Show

A month after announcing it would host its Cruise 2021 show in San Francisco, Gucci has canceled the event due to the coronavirus. According to WWD, the Italian brand made the decision as a precautionary measure. “A decision on the new timing and location of the show will be announced at a later date, once the situation becomes clearer. At this time, our thoughts are with all of those affected around the world,” the designer said.

 

The cancelation is the latest to rock the industry which is still figuring how to respond to the increasing epidemic. Prada is also postponing its Cruise show, which was set to take place in Tokyo in May, and Rakuten Fashion Week was canceled entirely. As the outbreak continues to spread, more shows will likely be canceled in the coming weeks and months.

Gucci Gets Psychedelic With its Latest Collection

Gucci has long embraced elements of surrealism and psychedelia, especially since Alessandro Michele took over as creative director in 2015, with everything from baby dragons to severed heads making appearances on the runway. With its new GG Psychedelic line, the Italian designer takes a trip further down the rabbit hole and perfectly captures the hedonistic spirit of the ’70s through a range of glitzy looks and accessories.

 

For the capsule, Michele redesigned the logo with kaleidoscopic finesse and printed it on a series of bags and other ready-to-wear pieces. The accompanying campaign was photographed by Jordan Hemingway on a dancefloor, which is where these pieces belong. Images are spliced and manipulated by the shimmer of a disco ball while models don the flashy looks with matching devil-may-care attitudes as if the energy and reckless abandon of Woodstock was transported straight to Studio 54.

 

The Gucci GG Psychedelic Collection will be available in select stores and online later this month. Take a look at some more of the campaign below.

Gucci Will Host its Cruise 2021 Show in San Francisco

Gucci has announced it will present its forthcoming Cruise 2021 collection in San Francisco. Last time the designer staged a show in the USA was when creative director Alessandro Michele hosted his first cruise show for the Italian brand in upstate New York in 2015.

 

According to a press statement, Michele decided on the California city for the presentation based on its “its history as a center of liberal activism.” Michele has frequently instilled his collections and presentations with a political edge, using his clothes as a template to express support for issues like women’s reproductive health and donating $500,000 to benefit gun control.

 

“This spirit represents Alessandro Michele’s vision for Gucci: the acceptance of diversity and the right to be oneself,” the statement continues. “Unveiling the collection in the city will also reconnect him with his most personal raison d’être: a celebration and validation of self-expression, emancipation and ultimately, freedom.”

 

Gucci will present its Cruise 2021 show on May 18.

Gucci’s First Men’s Store Opens in Beverly Hills

Peacocks of the world, this one’s for you. Gucci, the flamboyant Italian label that has singlehandedly made a fashion icon out of Harry Styles, is opening a dedicated men’s store in Beverly Hills. The new boutique is located next to the designer’s existing store on Rodeo Drive, allowing the brand to amp up its womenswear and accessories inventory while emphasizing its menswear offerings in a new space.

 

The launch of the store echos the designer’s decision to abandon its coed shows and present its own menswear show, which it did earlier this year in Milan for Fall 2020. The expansive 3,500-square-foot shop is furnished with vintage-looking furniture that seems right at home alongside the designer’s flashy and eccentric wearables. For the guys that like to dress loud, the new store is the ultimate spot to pick up the latest velvet bell-bottoms, festive suits, and any genderfluid-friendly glam-rock stagewear you can imagine. Maybe some guys should take a cue from Lana del Rey and pick up something to wear on their way to the Academy Awards next Sunday.

 

The Gucci Men’s store is open now at 347 N Rodeo Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

A Quick Roundup of Milan Fall 2020 Men’s Looks

With Prada’s innovative set design that reinforced its geometric presentation, Gucci’s new interpretation of art-school-cool, and Iceberg making its return to the fashion capital, we highlight some key looks from Fall 2020 in Milan.

 

FENDI

Silvia Fendi commissioned Kunihiko Morinaga, the designer behind Tokyo-based label Anrealage which was shortlisted for the LVMH Prize last year, to help with the collection. The result of this collaboration was most evident with the abundance of dual-texture jackets, but a series of chunky rubber rainboots and updates to the Italian label’s bag line were a welcome surprise.

 

PRADA

Geometric patterns were the star of the show, from the spatial set design to the numerous prints that were prominently featured on a series of sweater vests paired with tailored trousers. The designer experimented with proportions, with exaggerated coat lapels adding a new dimension to the classic jacket styles.

 

GUCCI

Vintage-inspired looks in cropped and oversized fits, ripped jeans, and traditional tailoring were a whimsical update to collegiate cool. If Yorgos Lanthimos ever made a movie about an art school, this is what they would wear.

 

ICEBERG

Making its return to Milan’s fashion schedule, Iceberg incorporated a number of recent trends — most notably side bags and fanny packs — into its rave-inspired sportswear.

 

A COLD WALL

The designer had an ambitious inspiration for Fall 2020 — the history of human evolution. However, the collection was a nuanced and brilliantly crafted series of looks that handled the subject matter with ease by balancing an earthy color palette with sharp cuts and subtle yet effective fabric techniques.

Bruce Gilden Shot the Gucci Pre-Fall 2020 Lookbook

If Virgil Abloh said that streetwear is on its way out, then Gucci (or more so the brand’s enigmatic yet immeasurably influential creative director Alessandro Michel) is saying that the suit is back. In its latest opulent collection for Pre-Fall 2020, the Italian designer presented a series of fabulously retro tailored looks — think high waisted trousers, funky prints, bell-bottom flares, wide jacket lapels over knit turtleneck sweaters, and other style cues that would look great at a discotheque back when people still called them that. The brand commissioned the legendary New York-based Bruce Gilden to photograph the lookbook, which was shot in Rome in a candid early 00’s street-style format. Take a look at some of the looks below for some New Year’s inspiration now.

Alessandro Michele Designed Some Harry Styles Merch

Alessandro Michele, creative director at Gucci, and Harry Styles, one of the label’s most famous ambassadors, have a longstanding friendship. Styles frequently sports flamboyant Gucci looks when performing and co-chaired this year’s camp-themed Met Gala with the designer, which sponsored the event. The two even attended the event together. In 2019, they are the epitome of a non-toxic-masculinity bromance.

 

In celebration of Harry Styles’ latest album, Fine Line, which came out last week, Alessandro is once again showing the former boyband sensation his support by releasing a limited-edition graphic T-shirt. The sustainably-made white tee features a simple but bold drawing of an arrow piercing a bleeding heart with the artist’s name written in it, while the album title is scribbled around the heart’s exterior. A pretty straightforward design, but simple band merch tends to age better. Adding another level of exclusivity, the shirt will only be available until Thursday on Harry Styles’ website and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Global Fund for Women.

 

The Harry Styles x Alessandro Michele T-shirt is available online now.

Thom Browne is the Latest to Go Co-Ed

After Versace made a similar announcement last month, Thom Browne is the latest designer to merge his women’s and men’s collections into one show.  The American designer will present his first co-ed collection for Fall 2020 in Paris on March 1.

 

“There’s been a couple of seasons that I’ve been talking about my collections being connected, and I think it’s time to put that into actual practice,” Browne told WWD.

 

While other brands like Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo are reviving their men’s shows, more designers are getting adjusted to fewer shows. Versace announced it will only present two collections a year (similar to Alexander Wang), so the traditional fashion week model continues to evolve for the new decade. And since most Thom Browne shows are more like performance art, I’m sure that bringing his men’s and women’s collections together is only gonna make a stronger spectacle.
