For Gucci's 90th anniversary show, Frida Giannini revisited her beloved 1970's, serving up a collection that was unabashedly glamorous. Furs in a manifold of shapes and colors appeared on a countless number of looks, as did wide-brimmed fedoras, sometimes topped with a feather. Giannini called this "hippie chic" but that doesn't seem an accurate description only because a hippie wouldn't look so together or so decked out. The fabulous Penny Lane coat on Alana Zimmer was a perfect adaptation of that era. This was the girl with her bow-collared blouses who adored the hippies and celebrated their spirit, but like to look a bit more put together. Anjelica Huston (specifically shot by Bob Richardson) was a major influence, especially seen in the daywear. Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine also inspired Gianni, who captured the singer's spirit in the floaty dresses at the end. This section was a bit of a dream, with hand-painted rosettes covering many of the dresses. Providing a bit of a contrast, the sheer chiffon and thigh-high slits gave it the sex appeal Gucci is so well-known for. While it was not my favorite collection I've seen all season, I've never coveted a long teal fur more.
