Gucci Resort 2013
Gucci's resort 2013 collection drew inspiration from the successful relaunch of the 'Flora' range designed by Frida Giannini in 2005. The flora print originated in 1966 when the House of Gucci deigned a flora print scarf for Princess Grace of Monaco.
The 'Flora' print featured prominently on a number of garments including a tan leather bomber jacket, Grecian maxi dress, sundress with waist shirring and a kaftan complete with billowy, chiffon sleeves.
Other runway looks included cutaway A-line shifts in different textures and an array of colours including peach, turquoise, lilac, and black. Leopard terracotta silk jacquard pyjama style top with keyhole and matching pant cut a languid silhouette. Lavender Liberty print blouse with flounce and fawn hipster tailored pant were smart, wearable additions. A dusk satin trench complete with matching dusk leather hobo had a distinct 70s vibe. Denim and white double breasted blazers were streamlined. Chocolate leather tee and a sarong style drape high waisted skirt was paired with a low slung, floppy fedora. Lavender suiting complete with magenta shirt added an unexpected pop of colour. Relaxed shirts featured zip inserts and press stud pockets. Signature Gucci eveningwear included a plunge burgundy maxi with pleating detail and shoulder ruffles which framed the decolletage.
Accessories are always a strong focal point in any Gucci collection and this collection had plenty on offer. Dainty, pewter thong sandals complimented many looks. Bags included a black large hobo with chain handle. The classic 'red and green stripe' with interlocking GGs was remodelled and updated with chocolate python. A roomy white overnight bag with black trimming and gold studded hardware was a chic addition. Aviators were the sunglass of choice, often with black rims. Necklaces were long and had tribal accents. Shifts featured jewelled collars which acted as necklaces. Serious adornment was on show.
Definitely a wearable collection with classic statement pieces worth investing in.
