Cruise 2008: Gucci

You can't go wrong with black and white - that seems to be what Frida Giannini kept telling herself when she was designing the Gucci cruise collection. Because black and white the collection was, in all patterns, shapes, and forms. Slips of orange, green, yellow, and red punctuated the pieces and prevented it all from turning into a black and white blur. Frida also took a nod to the fifties, with full swing skirts, rockabilly shoes, checkerboard prints, and patched leather jackets abundant.

I would have left behind the tired leather driving gloves, but there are definitely some very classy pieces in this collection. And I do love the bright yellow trench with the dark skinny pants.
