Can you believe it? The Gucci brand has really come of age. In celebration of their 70th Anniversary, they showed their first formal cruise collection show in Rome last night. The show was followed by a no expense spared dinner for 300 people and a party afterwards at Rome’s Villa Aurelia that I would have so loved to go to. But enough about the celebration what about the clothes. The high lights of the night were the show stopping evening gowns in the colours of the Italian flag in tribute to the city of Rome.The rest of the collection wasn’t bad either. It had a distinct seventies feel to it with long flowing dresses, thigh high minis and centre partings everywhere, reportedly inspired by Talitha Getty, Lee Radziwill, and Jane Birkin. The colours were warm and earthy browns, teal and oranges teamed with white for an eye catching effect. Bold retro prints just added to the cool retro vibe.I’ll have to admit whilst the collection was not really breaking any new ground. I loved it for it colourfulness and that nostalgic seventies style that I am so fond of.
