Gucci's creative director Frida Giannini is a woman whose creative wellspring is very much the early Eighties. That's why her collections are so much more optimistic than any other in Milan. Giannini is a genuinely fine tailor - her pencil pant, chopped off Spencer jacket, broad lapel suits were fresh. Giannini cuts these suits with an understanding of a woman's body and an intuition of how to make it work for the majority of women.
In this extreme time, Frida Giannini gets the inspiration from Eighties, though she saw it as contemporary. Nightclubbing girls, slick-leather leg, big-top look, Giannini changes these to be the slicked back hair, fuschia eye shadow (which paying respect to David Bowie), crimson lips, second-skin pants, thigh-high leather boots, and headband-size skirts. The dark palette was far too glitzy for sobriety, given the parade of paillettes, sequins, Lurex and lames. A series of clothes ignored the doom and gloom of the current economic market and focused on festive new wave optimism.
Giannini's "Frida" pantsuit, repeated many times throughout the show, which suggests brains, panache, an evocative private life and a hint of sexuality that makes the pulse beat faster. A boyish balancer, a relaxed hip, skinny-leg trouser fit, and various fabric options, show Giannini is not only a brave designer, but also a shrewd merchant.
"This is a collection for a dangerous woman," Giannini said before the show, "she is a tough woman. She is not shy. She wants to stand out." That is what Gucci 2009 Fall Fashion express.
