RUNWAY: Gucci Cruise 2017

Gucci, the epitome of Florentine fashion, showed its Cruise 2017 collection at the London's iconic Westminster Abbey for an expansive collection that melded men's and women's wear, a preview of its new model of combining the two into one cohesive collection. For the pre-Spring collection, there were influences from British culture like mod references but the bulk of the collection is unequivocally Alessandro Michele with a flurry of animal motifs and an abundance of embellishment, with many pieces worn by the differing sexes.
