Gucci's Back to Its Roots


Remember last month how I complained about how Gucci had gone too commercial? Well hallelujah, Gucci is back! For the Autumn/Winter 2008 collection creative director Frida Giannini designed a stunning collection. Sarah Mower even called it "Giannini's most confident [collection] so far."

Whether you want to call it rock 'n roll, bohemian chic, or Russian gypsy, this collection rocks! Giannini used an array of silks, velvets and furs to make a statement. The rich fabrics turn a defiant cheek to the talk of a recession. And the looks are guaranteed to translate into marketable pieces for not only Gucci, but retail brands as well.

I tried to pick out a few of my favorite looks, but I ended up pulling half of the collection! As always, take a look at Style.com's lookbook for every piece.
