What started out reasonably sane took a wrong turn and then
got lost by the time evening rolled around.
Mama Mia, Ms. Gianinni seems to be at home with the tailored pieces,
even to the point of presenting some stellar moments and then things get real
shaky.
The frond print was most attractive in the navy olive
combination while the engorged Prince of
Wales was, well… De trop! It might have
worked better had it not been so over enlarged as the choice of silhouettes for
the print were not compatible to the print... the whole exercise would have
benefitted from a fuller pant and a more reasonable choice of jacket. While we are on that subject, how did that
“McQueenesque” /Dior suit find its way into the lineup? There were a couple of fabulous coats in black and suits, in a
total teal monochrome in broadtail with monkey or goat , I am guessing, and then one
in brown tones, berry which perfectly chic but lacking any relationship
to the brand DNA. Speaking of which, the
signora certainly took a liking to snakeskin which on its best day is not easy
to like or work with but she sure did try to convince us that it was fabulous….
Fail! Then… I cannot ignore the feather pieces shown for evening.. what on earth was she thinking?
The bottom line is that the show was a definite hit and miss
affair. It was sparsely accessorized and
conceivable that it might have looked a lot better if the models were not styles
to be as hard as nails. I am, at this point, questioning what exactly does the
Gucci client look like and wear and want!
The zig zagging and constant changes in the essence of the collection
seem to change every season which brings me back to one of my other favorite
statements… It’s a good thing they don’t depend on clothes to make their bottom
line!
