STYLE Edit: Gucci closes inspirational spring/summer show with haute tributes to Issey Miyake, Yves Saint Laurent and Capucci
The French fashion house ended its three-part series at Paris Fashion Week with an explosive display of highly sculpted dresses, vivid colours and avant-garde accents
Gucci rounded off their homage to France with the spring/summer 2019 collection presented at Théâtre Le Palace at Paris Fashion Week.
It was the final part of a three-part series that saw creative director Alessandro Michele drawing inspiration from France’s culture and history.
The culmination of these stylistic allusions was an eclectic, energetic display of fashion.
Capucci, one of Italy's most inspirational fashion designers, is paid tribute with unusually sculpted dresses in Gucci’s spring/summer collection.
Capucci’s avant-garde silhouettes and expert use of colour and texture influence a number of Michele’s pieces, including a neon-yellow dress with expressive accents on the shoulder.
Japanese designer Issey Miyake, who spent much of his life in Paris, is acknowledged in the collection with extraordinary pleating.
