Gucci SS19 | A kitsch and theatrical collection

Since Alessandro Michele took over the control of Gucci, he has made his show one of the most awaited in the fashion week calendar. Once again his SS19 proposal has left the audience dumbfounded.

Last season Michele brought everything, from baby dragons to models who wore replicas of their own heads on the runway. Expectations were high and the Italian didn’t disappoint.

Gucci SS19 | Full Show - #mustwatch

Cited in the Le Palace theatre, known for its years as a nightclub where fashion, music and ‘underground’ culture coexisted in the same space, Lalo seated the guests, comfortably in the theatre armchairs, from where they watched the models descend from the corridors and line up on stage as the protagonists of a theatre play.

Once again the geek-vintage and genderless universe of Alessandro’s imaginary became patent. A great number of influences were mixed harmoniously creating a collection that is only at the level of Gucci, and that out of this context would lose all it meaning.

There was also time for the homage that this time focused on Mickey Mouse and singer Dolly Parton. One of the epic moments of the show was when Jane Birkin jumped out of her front row seat to sing “Baby Alone in Babylone“.

With this fashion show A. Michele puts an end to his particular ode to France which he distributed in three episodes / collections and which began with the collection Gucci Dans Les Rues, in the autumn-winter 18, followed by Cruise 19, named Promenade Des Alyscamps, presented in May in the commune of Arles and which ends with the present one.
