gucci-spring-summer-2018-ss18-rtw-invitation-fashion-show-mfwGucci Spring Summer 2018 collection at Milan Fashion Week had both menswear and womenswear. The collection was full of shimmer, glitter, 70s style inspired suits and cartoon references. It took me a while to understand their theme (just like last season)! So, when I went through their Instagram, they had posted the invitation for the Spring 2018 fashion show. The word hypnotism was written boldly with the text Gucci all over it. The caption read, “Candles, matches, scent-infused papers are inside a tin box wrapped up in paper printed with font styles and graphics inspired by antique book ‘Decouverte de La Maison de Campagne D’Horace’ (1767-1769) by French writer and archeologist L’Abbé Bertrand Capmartin de Chaupy.”

The runway was set up with sculptures like Greek gods, mummies and arches inspired from Indian, Aztec and Egyptian styles. The backdrop was inspired by the medieval period.

The show started with a model wearing Gucci logo patterned pencil skirt paired with a button-up shirt and long jacket. The accessories were bold with pearls, logo pendants and a hint of tribal jewelry like oxidized earrings. Metallics were prominent in the collection. There were metallic jackets, sweaters, dresses, tops, trousers and gloves, too! Too much glam. And a metallic dress looked like aluminum foil draped on the body. I wouldn’t wear it even if I was paid to!

Suits made a statement in the collection and the cartoon characters inspired apparel – a metallic Snow White sweater and Bugs Bunny – stole the show.

Accessories included layered beaded necklaces, animal head rings, sunglasses and bags. The bags had graphic prints, text and the logo written as ‘Guccy’.

The 70s style shoulder pads, men’s embroidered shoes and flats surely made a statement. Floral prints and leather outfits looked alluring. A metallic purple gown reminded us of the layered purple gown from Fall Winter 2017 RTW collection.

I loved their accessories while I doubt the wearability of their apparel. But who cares with such artistic creation!
