Roman Rhapsody: Gucci's Stunning Resort Campaign

One thing Gucci have always been very good at, is creating stunning advertising campaigns. From the famous Tom Ford years through to Frida Gianinni and now Alessandro Michelle, Gucci's campaigns have caused outrage, controversy, hype and above all a lot of sales.

For Resort 2018, Michelle brought together some of Italy's most notable figures in a campaign entitled 'Roman Rhapsody.' There is one picture I love above the rest, and that is the beautiful portrayal of writer and journalist Barbara Alberti. Poised with her legs crossed, she is a figure of elegance and beauty, a role model for the older woman and is so stylish it makes me want to grow old as gracefully as her. Barbara is 73 if anyone is wondering. The rest of the campaign is sumptuous, decadent and very Gucci with all the colours and prints thrown together in perfect harmony. No doubt another sell out collection for this Italian heavy weight fashion empire.

See all the photos below as well as the official campaign video.
