Anyway one show that I wasn't going to miss was the Gucci show, first becoming the hottest ticket at Milan Fashion Week. With Tom Hiddleston and Jared Leto on the front row, this season was inspired by nature, culture and Jane Austen, funnily enough. Models carried books by the famous author in their bags and under their arms while the English theme continued with rich floral embroidery and pretty ensembles that wouldn't look out of touch at a countryside tea party. Prints clashed, the classic red/white/green colours synonymous with Gucci and the Italian flag popped up on jackets and bags while layering was a key feature. Accessories were paid a lot of attention to with large floppy sun hat, decadent belts and huge earrings all adding to the more is more feel much loved by Alessandro Michele. And who could resist the bags? From luggage styles to mini clutches; there was something for everyone. There was also a touch of the orient with large parasols and kimono style tops and jackets featured with brightly coloured embroidery.
"If we become slaves of culture we can change the world," Alessandro said after the show, and why not? Culture what makes the world go round after all. Animal motifs ran throughout the collection which consisted of 120 male and female looks. Gender fluidity was pioneered by Gucci and 3 years on it's still going strong for the brand, with many other copying what Michele originally started.
