A PERFECT collection.
oh god.... this is like salt in the wounds
Firstview.com.anyone knows where i can check out the old Gucci Mens collections? from the early 00's.
I don't even think it's fair to compare Gucci to Jil Sander since they're so very different. Considering that they stand for different things, cater to different tastes and clothe different personalities, how can you compare one brand of sexuality to another?
It always boggles my mind when I see comments that deride the more obvious type of sexiness, and I don't mean this as a put down to you tricotineacetate because I see where you're coming from, it's just not your taste . But there was a comment in the Dolce and Gabbana thread that basically summed up their take on sexy as worthless because it's in your face and that person didn't like that so therefore Dolce and Gabbana should stop designing if that's all they can do. Not every man, woman or any combination of the two sees sexy in the same way or approaches sexuality in the same way, so with that in mind is there a "better" way to do sexy fashion, or is it just a different way?
That said, my first thought when seeing this coat from last season was the coat from this collection with the huge collar.

For me, that was probably his most daring collection. Just the shapes he proposed, all of the deflated bubble skirts, military jackets and conical corsets were so fantastic. It's a shame that show wasn't well recieved....i get where you're coming from spike and it's not that there weren't certain collections and pieces by tom ford that i didn't enjoy - actually the winter collection 2002 was one of my personal favourites of his, i loved all those twisted, bias cut dresses, mixed with the luxe-gothic attitude and japanese kimono dressing thrown in the mix. i thought it had a bit more of an ease and cool about it, compaired to the winter collection after... and yes, it probably just goes back to myself not being particularly fond of stretch satin and all that visible corsetry/cinch-waisted hourglass look...
...talking of corsetry and gucci - how about that gorgeous nude-coloured corset dress with tulle overlay that kate moss, with bleached-blond, boyish hair back then, was opening his ss'01 show? that to me was a real stunner... i also loved her a lot in those ad-campaigns!
