Call me what you like; a stereotype-er, a non-believer, a girl with a cold heart of stone--(that last one is true by the way)--but I had quite the surprise when I sat down at watched what Gucci had to offer the world of menswear this year in Milan.For the 2010 winter collection, Frida Gianni took the house back to roots and what followed was an impressive display of classic cool. While other Italian houses are still making bold statements, Gianni seems to be taking the more nostalgic route and reinventing the past with camel-colored coats, impeccable tailoring and of course, loafers.
The flash was minimal but the splash was big. For too long the major houses have been trying, trying, trying in vain to invent something big and exciting in the world of men's fashion. Those attempts at new and fresh were in fact,
tiresome and dull. They seemed to forget that at the base of it all, a man is a man. They underestimated the power of a good suit.What Gianni sent down the runway was electrifyingly great simply because of its simplicity.
The collection's innovation was born out of the house's timeless pieces, and menswear has been returned to it's rightful owner...men!
Can we put away the fur dresses now?
