OMG! OMG! OMG! If this is the future of the brand then it is
time to just throw in the towel and quit! If this is supposed to be better than
what was, well then it must be said that Gucci has lost all of its panache and
luster if it still had any and will soon be circling the drain.
What on earth can a designer be thinking to focus and stock
tie blouses, bolo tie necks, LACE! capes, fur collars, cropped sleeves, neck
ruffles and droopy pants. If there ever was a fashion mess then this surely
qualifies to be among them. This makes Frida look like Chanel, Vionnet or
Madame Gres all wrapped into one! It is like someone raids granny’s closet and
is playing dress up.
My inclination is to say the collection is asexual or
possibly ambisexual but that’s not right
as this clearly leans heavily on the feminine rather than the metrosexual. My
gut says to compare it to Versace but even Donatellamommamia showed with far
greater polish than this catastrophe of fashion. With an archive such as Gucci,
what is the point of this? I guess the use of the horse bit loafer is what
gives this collection its identity as it surely isn’t the sandal they show for
fall!!
Well if the powers at Kering were unhappy before, just wait
till they see what this does for their reputation for their show pony brand. If
the design team who designed this is from Frida’s reign, then it is simple to see why she didn’t do better
during her tenure. My suggestion is clean house, wipe the slate clean and start
over because if this is what they do for men, my imagination cannot even
venture to guess what will happen for the women!
PS for those of us who have a memory and some history this
brings to mind the store.. Granny Takes a
Trip ... But literally!
