The Spring Summer 2015 Collection is at one with the Gucci man’s two sides. First, his rock ‘n roll instincts. Eccentric, bohemian, free spirited. At the same time, his love for jet-setting, his innate elegance and his passion for aristocratic sports. Inspired by the nautical seascape, the collection brings an opulent, rock, and often decadent style to his wardrobe. Gucci’s codes of luxury give way to new techniques and techno materials, with unexpected and precious detailing. The season’s standout protagonist, the cross-body bag, boldly outlines the silhouette.
ACCESSORIES
Ultra luxurious. The accessories bring out the collection’s relaxed elegance. Recalling the sailing sack, messenger bags in calfskin, crocodile, or canvas. With a maxi monochrome or striped cross-body strap. Alongside the boating sneaker, the horsebit loafer returns this season, most notably in white-washed crocodile. The striped foulard, knotted metal bracelets worked like rope, and beaded necklaces hint at the Gucci man’s nonchalance and bohemian instincts.
The elegant and sophisticated woman from last winter now has an even stronger prerogative. Dressing to please herself first and foremost. Summer gives way to her ironic, individualist, eccentric spirit. Defiant when it comes to seasonal conventions, for Spring Summer 2015 the Gucci woman takes pleasure in irreverently mixing her favorite pieces. Clean, sharp lines, juxtaposed with prints, embroidery, and fur vests. For a kaleidoscopic glamour.
SILHOUETTE and MATERIALS
Deluxe patchwork. Crisp, geometric lines characterize the collection while undergoing a reinvention with the use of suede, denim, leather, embroidery, and decorative detailing. In monochromatic hues or exotic prints. Dresses are either mini or below the knee and form fitting with a slit. In solid colors, with ton-sur-ton or contrast stitching. Even printed. Occasionally featuring nautical hints. Outlined by micro beading, the denim dress features a plunging neckline with a maxi lace-up closure. This neckline also seals embroidered dresses and tops that recall the eyelets of broderie anglaise. In leather or fabric including printed silk. Wide-leg, low-waisted pants feature calf-length cuffs. In white cotton or denim and suede. Often featuring golden marine buttons. Also seen on the jean jacket and knitwear. The suede trench and skirt accentuate the waistline. Python for the jacket and skirt pairing. Outerwear comes in the shape of the boxy, masculine jacket with braiding or trench-style jackets that follow the lines of the body. The collection’s distinctive juxtaposition of prints, materials, detailing, and embroideries becomes three-dimensional with the use of fur. For vests and short jackets preciously overlapping python, goat, Mongolian lamb, fox, suede, and studding.
COLORS
Pearl white acts as a prelude to intensities of orange, bordeaux, blue, green. Monochromatic or paired on prints. On ready-to-wear and accessories.
EVENING
Precious romanticism. The intricately embroidered mini dress again replaces the gown. Daytime’s irreverent streak turns into a poetic mood for cocktail dresses with subtle prints, embellished by couture-style micro embroideries. A glimpse of the Orient.
ACCESSORIES
Relaxed yet chic. The new version of the Jackie Soft is the protagonist – the bucket bag and the messenger bag in two sizes, with its maxi shoulder strap in canvas. In unlined calfskin, crocodile, and suede. Echoing the colors of the collection. The maxi shoulder strap, striped with the web colors, also characterizes the structured bag with the horsebit closure. In hand-daubed leather or suede. Chunky heels for sandals, ankle boots, and boots. In suede, calfskin, and python. Round or pilot shaped, sunglasses feature tortoise shell frames. Horsebit designs for the silver bracelet or small chains.
