Gucci S/S 11 Milan

[Street_a_Licious]

hmmm

very african by way of Vuitton S/S 09, but without the spark and details that made that Vuitton collection so much fun. but since MJ derived his idea from YSL's african period, it's really too much derivation.

after all is said and done, it's a collection of pretty party dresses and tops, not to mention when paired with those shoes. i don't think Frida can possibly aim for anything else but 'pretty' and 'nice' these days, which is a serious step up from 'prints! prints! prints!'.

at least most of it doesn't look like it came from the 'FINAL SALE' bin at Zara anymore.

i actually do like the finale dresses. the colorful fringes and feathers and tassels are something else for a change from Frida...

I dont know where to begin with my disdain for this biatch (Frida) . The fall collection was a little hope but its back to square 1 .

she threw in everything but the kitchen sink...
maybe if she stuck to one of the three different ideas that are going on, this collection wouldn't have been so bad...

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

im just waiting for the ad camapign because the colors are stunning

 

[holaloha]

I'm very divided about this one. Loved the colors in the beginning and some others, but I'm not sure about the collection in its entirety.

 

[mackos]

This collection is so bad. I can't even articulate where to begin.

It seriously is. I was hoping for a nice change after quite promising fall collection, but this is just another disastrous nightmare from Frida. I can't even explain how cheap those coloured pieces look.

 

[PHILOSOPHY]

The jumpsuits and the maxi dress with the leg opening at the bottom, like elongated jumpsuits were lovely, the shoes were nice and i liked her reference but as everyone has said, very LV, even the runway was kind of the same colour.....but i love Frida and she seems to pull it out the bag each time

 

[Donatello89]

talent, inspiration...it's coming...but sometimes it leaves away. I don't like this collection, colors are just terrible and for the rest it's "déjà vu"

 

[imagensfashions]

Amazing collection!!!!! Love it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mikel]

The last set of tribal dresses are very YSL.

 

[Blanche DuBois]

after seeing the whole thing...I can say she really missed something
the collection is full of different stylings...or I dont know, something seems off
like a part of them are lanvin, some are more lv, some are gucci
the last 5 dresses were a monstruosity, who would wear something that makes you look twice as big???

 

[MarionasMuse]

Misery.Miserable 'show'.How cheap.Enough.

 

[gossiping]

gucci will never be my favourite..

i like the shoes though

 

[BibiRose]

I actually liked some of the pieces, especially bright-coloured, but the fringes, the shoes- overall I'm rather not a fan of this collection.

Does anyone know if Emmanuelle Alt is still styling Gucci's show?
She sat front row and has done them in the past for Frida.
How can the other shows she style look so good but not this.
I know the answer but how come even Emmanuelle can't make Gucci work.

 

[KKnardi]

beautiful, love the colors in the beginning. the ending is something new from the usual super glamorous glitter gowns.

 

[funkyhepburn]

What a fierce, sexy and vibrant collection. I love it! especially the jewel colours

 

[Mr-Dale]

The jumpsuits with the low crotch are just another exaggeration of the harem pants and Jezus Christ, haven't we seen those enough already over the last 2-3 years? Eventhough the whole Marrakech thing has been done a lot over the past few years, I kinda like how it's done here (except for those harem jumpsuits). The colors are excellent IMO. And I like it how she injected an accurate ammount of glamour into the collection. It's a so-so collection. Not bad, not excellent. But we will all recognise those tassles once they land in the magazines and I guess that's a good thing.

 

[Littleathquakes]

^ and if the models can't make those low crotch pants work, i'd hate to see them on the average person.

I don't know? Something about it draws me in, maybe the YSL-lite quality of it?
