Milan Fashion week: GUCCI autumn/winter 2012
02/22/12 5:57 PM
Gucci's opening show today in Milan, captured "A dark glamour".
This is how Frida Giannini, Gucci's designer-in-chief described the
collection she hopes women will yearn for next winter.
In roughly-tied back Pre-Raphaelite hair, morbidly heavy make-up,
ripe-red lipstick and large-print and jacquard florals were glummed up
by placement on a black background.
This is set to be a gloomy year for Italian fashion and Gucci's opening
show today captured that mood perfectly. Analysts suggest sales
will decline by 5.2 per cent in 2012.
