Memories of the Gucci’s transformation when Tom Ford became director of Gucci in the 1994 are crystal clear. There was an overt powerful sensuality to the looks and collections he created. The ads were bold even racy, but also sleek and modern, many of them worthy of being clipped and saved for posterity.
Allesandro Michele the newly appointed creative director for Gucci at first glance could be perceived as the antithesis to Ford. Anchored on a love of all things vintage, precious and collectible, the Gucci look Michele creates is ornate, and filled with nostalgia .The Gucci Spring 2016 accessories reveal a sense of glamour with a throwback feel that speaks to the poetry and playfulness of fashion. However, just like Ford, Michele fully commits to looks that have nothing to do with the quiet and minimal but everything to do with the confidence to be bold and make a style statement. And that, no matter how you slice it or who designs it, is always sexy.
Have a look below at a preview of some of Gucci’s Spring 2016 accessories, more evidence that Michele is the designer capable of bringing Gucci’s sexy back.
