MFW: Gucci Fall 2010 Runway



It was a story of translucent lace and feathers at Gucci’s Fall 2010 runway show. Sure the design house also showcased their signature looks, you know, that polished put together Gucci girl. Then those gave way to sheer lace. They definitely turned up the volume on sexy in this collection. The first looks were clean monochromatic, almost pristine sportswear. It had all the luxury we would expect from Gucci. Silks, wool, leather, and fur were among the first half of the looks. Those were clearly the daytime looks because they were the polar opposites of the latter looks that got progressively more risque. During the evening looks the lace, feathers, sequins and embellishments made their debut. It was like a striptease, but it was a slow and sensual unveiling. The models started totally covered up, then they shed layers of clothes to reveal more skin. There should have been a warning label on the lace dresses because they were hot enough make you blush. The first looks and color palette were very conservative with taupe, gray, brown, concrete, tan, camel and black. As far as the accessories went, my heart fluttered at first glimpse of the thigh-high suede boots; it was love at first sight. Other accessories included shoes, bags, belts and sunglasses, and most of those will be on many ‘must have’ lists come fall.
