Gucci

RESORT 2010

By Frida Giannini

If the Gucci girl was a creature of the night on the Fall runway, she s ready to soak up the sun for Resort. A teeny-weeny, scuba-inspired dress would be perfect for Ibiza, just as tomboyish seersucker pants paired with a chambray shirt and a jacket—be it a traditional blazer, oversize washed leather topper, or neat raincoat—are just right for the Amalfi coast. Said Italian playground was designer Frida Giannini s touchstone, but a mosaic print and embroidery were the most direct references to her stated inspiration. That s as it should be; there s no need to belabor the point. These are uncomplicated, go-anywhere clothes for a woman who likes to travel in style.
