Gucci Fall 2008





FIERCE!!

Gucci has always been one of my absolute favorites. The obsession began with Tom Ford's break out 1995 ready-to-wear collection for Gucci. A then 32 year old Ford captured the fantasies of hedonistic, urban-dwelling fashionistas and dazzled critics. The collection was reminiscent of the jet-set clientele that created a buzz around the label in the 1970s, with its unbuttoned silk shirts and tight velvet hip-huggers. "It was hot! It was sex!" Joan Kaner, fashion director for Neiman Marcus, exclaimed. I was 16 years old and loved it! This probably frightened my parents a bit now that i think about it. Tom Ford has moved on and Frida Ginanni has settled in. Bravo Frida!
