Gucci Fall/Winter 2011 ad campaign featuring Gen Huisman, Nicola Jovanovic and Joan Smalls. The collection is somehow trying to divulge into the retro 70s where the Gucci DNA is originated in providing clothing with a sense of luxe and seductive silhouette. The hues are stamped into the sombre colors of autumn/winter with the usual shades of browns, navy and urban greys - in a selection of materials like wool and corduroy, alongside leather, velvet and technofabric.
This time, diamante is prioritised into the accessories department as seen on holdalls and workbags in canvas, as well as the tote and backpack in technofabric. Also the revival of boofers - the hybrid of Chelsea boots and Gucci famous loafers, ornamented with the signature Gucci horbit buckle. The fashion house has also continue its effort to produce their sans logo pieces - such as the foldable portfolio bag and the leather tote with braided leather handle, for those who are less conspicous yet still wanna buy the craftmanship of Gucci.
Overall. Pretty good collection, though I'm not really feeling it as much as I did in FW09 and FW08.
