Gucci made a triumphant return to the runway in Milan yesterday evening after a two-year hiatus to present his latest collection “Exquisite Gucci”.
And Alessandro Michele took this and an opportunity to unveil the House’s latest collaboration with Adidas originals. After the success of its Balenciaga takeover and North Face collaboration late this year, partnerships seem to be the way forward for the house which has well and truly jumped on the logomania trend.
The front row saw a heavily pregnant Rihanna and her Babby Daddy ASAP rocking stealing the limelight as the pair glided in dressed head-to-toe in Gucci ensembles.
On the runway itself, the collection offered an array of Gucci icons emblazoned with the instantly recognisable Adidas Originals logo and three stripes as smart tailoring was given a sportswear twist.
There was a sense of gender fluidity with men wearing tartan skirts and blouses and women dressed in masculine oversize cut suits. The whole collection in fact was about freedom of dressing with pieces mixed and matched in a way only Gucci could get right.
