This is quite hard to comment on every time. After Alessandro and his extremely strong and precise aesthetic, the biggest problem in viewing is that while it is quite boring, it is also not hard to understand why it looks this way, because the brand needed a palate cleanser, basically smell of coffee after a strong, complex perfume. Considering this, I think he is doing quite a good job - it is stylish and desirable, but does not stand out and has almost no identity. One of the issues is also how youthful the brand suddenly became. Gucci is indeed one of the "old money" brands with huge history of serving the elite and the royalty, and one cannot just erase that and make the brand cool and flood it with youngsters. Michele made it fresh and 'cool', yet he always carefully included more mature and classic models into his shows and campaigns.
The casting of new models is cute, but it has no identity to it. When the godforsaken Demna came, his casting had laser precision. Here it is... inclusive and young, but what else?
I do not agree that it is dreadful and a disaster (that would apply to Collina Strada and etc., probably), just boring. The huge houses can be boring at most, because if it is not good, it is just safe. He would probably just be Facchinetti of today's Gucci, but with more stakes on financial profit.
