Gucci Men's Fall Winter 2011-12 collection that was showcased in Milan.
A new dandy. One who loves to seduce mixing vanity and tradition. He changes skin in the double-breasted coat and trench in crocodile and ostrich. A hypnotic, intellectual palette, luxurious shades, with nuances of pearl and earth. He unabashedly plays with elegance. Soft mohair sweaters, tailored suits, subtle biker touches, rock 'n roll furs. The Gucci Autumn Winter 2011-2012 Collection becomes a kaleidoscopic story where the only rule is a strong personality.
“The year 2011 marks our 90th anniversary,” explains Creative Director Frida Giannini, “I have explored Gucci's codes from many perspectives reintroducing elements from the DNA with the 70s and the spirit of dressing iconic men as a reference."
Silhouette Fluid tailoring. Sartorial blazers, with tone-on-tone stitching, defined shoulders and striking lapels. Enriched with striped handkerchiefs and geometric ties. Pants with pleats and canvas belts open up to ankle boots and moccasins with tassels.
Casual chic for suit separates with cashmere crewnecks, angora sweaters and paper-like shirts. Suede inserts on the riding jackets and quilted lining inspired by horseriding blankets. Winter jackets in maxi tweed and vintage style. Snaps with tusks and crocodile straps underline a forever deluxe spirit.
Materials Ultra precious. Noble textiles such as cashmere, velvet, gabardine, flannel and British checks with unexpected exotic hides for coats and masterful fur for a metropolitan look. Beaver texturized for a corduroy effect on the trench. Pony and long, natural rabbit fur for a caban for a late-night escape. Shearling lines the oversized coat. All the way to Mongolia for a featherweight coat.
Evening A nocturnal symphony glorified by rockmantic accents. Black tuxedos, black ties and shirts with horizontal pleats on the plastron, in dusty shades for a damned poet. Prominent lapels, with eye-catching edges that contrast materials. Dramatic tuxedo overcoats. All the way to a tricotine Astrakhan sweater, for a new dandy vanity.
Accessories The first Gucci men's Bamboo bag, with a blackened handle, destined to be the next must-have, in a travel size that is the season's fil rouge. Historical carry-on bags, originally intended for shirts and shoes, become shoulder and weekend bags, with signature key-closure buckles.
Washed leather for a lived-in look. Pigskin and buffalo as soft as fabric, a pied de poule print, a new web, a chromatic stamp in variants of caramel. The brief-bag, foldable like a newspaper. The initials of the founding father, Guccio Gucci, appear in gold and offer a prelude to a new, exclusive monogramming service, available only at Gucci stores. Meanwhile, the Diamante pattern evolves on bracelets and rings.
