Gucci RTW Fall 2012

“Romanticism — literally speaking, of the 19th century.” That was Frida Giannini’s starting point for her fall Gucci collection. It worked like a charm of the seductive, rather than sweet, variety. She chose a palette moody with color (dark maroons, greens and navys) and fabrics with flourish; high-drama brocades and jacquards formed the base, worked in combination with velvet, fur, silk and leather.
