The LA Times looks at Gucci’s Spring Summer collection.
The Gucci woman is one tough babe. The white dress that opened the show may have looked innocent enough — figure-hugging with striking white cutouts at the waist and neckline. But little did we know what Frida Giannini was about to unleash. Out came a woman ready for action in techno sport leggings with Velcro ankle tabs, anoraks or blazers with cinch pulleys, laced cords, mesh inserts and utility pockets, and pencil skirts with the classic horse bit reinterpreted as a cord belt. I half expected the models to pull out throwing stars, or pluck one of the silver metal embroideries from the cage-like jeweled harnesses on their sexy silk jersey evening gowns, and use them as weapons. – From LA Times
