Phoebe Returns

The fashion world’s Internet has been buzzing with the return of Phoebe Philo to the design realm with her eponymous brand. The British born designer, former head of Celine comes at the best time as buyers shift to quiet luxury. My first reaction, “yes!” Phoebe has made sexy chic with a big dose of class. The pieces are not cheap but never the less sell out fast.

A Gucci Moment in Miland

Black and Paper Re-See of the Gucci Fall 2017 Collection.

The looks presented this season were inspired by the fantasies of Alessandro Michele.  There were 100 looks with many pieces ranging from oriental umbrellas to my personal favorite, sheer suits.  Feeling a bit like a couture collection, there were many rich details and embellishments, ranging from embroiled pearls on cuffs and male cut out pants suits. Gucci is a brand of accessories, and all were on hand from the new bag with a symmetrical cut and flats in a gladiator style made of styles or the jacquard shoes.    There was no overall universal theme this season, except using every color in the spectrum; while I was going over the looks, I was reminded of the cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, fun, optimistic, creative from a designer who is looking to the future.
