I like those cuff clutches, very fetishy, but unwearable.

That lame dress worn with a huge perforated cuff around the waist. I hate the lurex stockiings and the shoes with the little glass studs. I hate the matchy matchy and I hate that metallic leather jacket and pant set, it's very...Boca Raton.

that if i wear a satiny red gucci maxi dress with my cleavage all out basically im eye candy and my man is like omg lets do it on the dining room table PRONTO .....then baby its all good !! He feels good and I feel very good!!
Bring on the sexy late 70s , because hey if being sexy means your confident and in control and wanted and desired at the same time and these clothes like it or not do it. Also i dont think I would get the same reaction and satisfaction if I were wearing a balloon skirt and leggings ?

Can I have your number?!

^^ i don't think last season was granny in any way - I certainly wouldn't expect a granny to wear those dresses.

I think this is hideous and overtly sexy ore rather ....anyone wearing these clothes, to me, would just look......overtly available. Fashion has moved on, I thought Gucci was moving on too...but clearly not from this selection of outfits. Maybe it gets better though.

Perhaps this excellent article can shed some light on the numerous comments of overt sexiness and inconsistency with previous collections.

The Gucci Sexiness: A Nervous Condition?

By CATHY HORYN
MILAN, Feb. 23 — The complaint that Gucci has lost its sex appeal under the leadership of its chief executive, Mark Lee, and its creative director, Frida Giannini, was answered on Wednesday night when Ms. Giannini sent those familiar lipstick-red high heels down a mirrored runway to the pop rhythms of the Electric Light Orchestra's "Evil Woman."
Despite record sales last year, despite a decent debut from Ms. Giannini in September, Gucci has been slapped with the criticism that its clothes aren't as exciting and visionary as they were under her predecessor, Tom Ford. They have become, according to the industry's favorite put-down, "commercial."
The Gucci store on the Via Montenapoleone, meanwhile, is packed with customers. Natalie Massenet, the farsighted owner of Net-a-Porter.com in London, wants Gucci on her site because she believes Ms. Giannini is a lot like Chloé's former designer, Phoebe Philo: a woman with her finger on the pulse of her generation. And on Wednesday, as the runway glowed with pinpricks of red light and the first models came out in silk print minidresses, Jim Gold, the chief executive of Bergdorf Goodman, turned and shouted, "We're selling Gucci ready-to-wear better than we ever did under Tom Ford."
In the immortal words of Joan Rivers, Can we talk?
Last September, Ms. Giannini, 33, offered styles that nobody else in the business had: tea dresses, silk floral prints, skimmy polo tops, black satin boy trousers. This is a good thing, but if a sportier Gucci put off some editors and buyers, it was understandable. Fashion people tend to react to new talent much as a hibernating animal greets the sun when it emerges from its den at the start of spring; there's a brief period of adjustment before all haste is made to the nearest food source.
For some reason, though, Ms. Giannini didn't allow this natural period of adjustment to take place. She plunged into sexy clothes. Was it nervousness? Did she want to push past her beliefs and assure the crowd that she could be bold and that Gucci wasn't commercial?
The results were uneven and, at worst, without meaning: stiff "Saturday Night Fever" pantsuits in white or gold silk that could have been Versace or Dolce & Gabbana, liquidlike minidresses in sequins or jersey that draped over the breasts or dipped low in the back, maxicoats in cloth or purple striped fur, the red-print microminis with matching opaque stockings and glossy stilettos.
Ms. Giannini would do better to answer the complaint of commercialism by not answering it, and by following her instincts instead of trying to please editors or grafting Mr. Ford's legacy. Does it matter what flavor the Kool-Aid is if it's spiked?
The fashion world suffers from insincerity — the Judas kiss delivered at the backstage door — and the virtue of Ms. Giannini's first collection was its winning sincerity. You felt its presence again on Wednesday evening, in the freshness of a long white skirt with a cropped taupe suede jacket studded in silver, in the modesty of an unadorned evening dress in matte gold silk with a wrapped waist and short, fluttery sleeves. She should keep that quality close to her. The crowd will eventually sense it."

Kinda nice...it was very inconsistant though...

I was over at Alessandro Dell Aqua's and I swear this is how Gucci should be, modern, sexy, Italian but not trashy like Versace. I'm posting 2 examples below. They should hire him to make over the brand image!

Oddly, it's like a vamped up Missoni to me.

I thought the same thing! Can't wait for Paris. I feel like I have seen this whole collection before in various other states. Vercace, Cavalli, Ford, Missioni, etc.

The think that stood out to me in her Sprinf collection was that Gucci green.

Hey, this sucks. I can't see any of the pictures!

 

[oolie coco]

^ I know they do this in all of the designer threads. Instead of uploading the pictures, most people just link to them, so of course if we want to look at collections later they're all gone. I mean it's not even summer yet but you can bet that all the fall collections will have disappeared!

i like the studio 54 mood of the collection it reminds me of mia from the movie scarface especially in the print ads, i like the sleek 70s look but i wouldnt wear these clothes, i would however wear the shoes and clutches ( i'd figure a way to get in ) actually i love, love, love the shoes and clutches and would wear them with cute vintage dresses, the thing i dont like about the clothes is the super vibrant colors and prints and its a lil too girly, i think thats what makes it look cheap even though the cut is cute on some of it, i like 70s stuff to be more of the 30s influenced sophistication with more muted rich colors or neutrals...

but i do think its unfair to scream tom ford will every tarty ( so what if it is ) gucci collection suppose to be tom ford???, i think tom ford's tartiness was more minimalist than this still a lil 70s mood but more halston-ish meets s&m and this is more biba-esque, i understand the comparisons to versace, cavalli, missoni that makes more sense than tom ford to me
