Gucci: Spring 2009 Ready-to-Wear

[upbeat music]

We re looking at pictures of Veruschka,

with all the beautiful lashes

and out on those wonderful locations,

and that s kind of the look,

more of a modern version of that.

Very seductive,

a bend, a wave,

very soft, touchable,

it s much more the attitude of a woman,

than just in her style.

Frida Giannini is working with Rihanna

on something for unisex,

and there Rihanna was in the front row

of the latest Gucci show.

I can t help thinking the title of her album,

Good Girl Gone Bad, is rather an appropriate description

of the kind of girl that Frida s targeting with her clothes.

[Interviewer] That collection is a great interplay

between masculine and feminine elements.

So sometimes I like to wear very short dresses

and I like to be very feminine,

and sometimes else I want to be very tough, in a way.

I think that a woman wants to invest

in these beautiful, sharp, tailored suits.

That speaks to what I call that stealth wealth.

Details and craftsmanship is stolen from a men s wardrobe,

but rich, oxidative, strong, strong colors,

like the shades of blue, marine,

new and fresh way to interpret the classic suit.

[Interviewer] When you see that collection,

you really are looking at the bags and the shoes,

and then looking up at the clothes after that.

I like because it s alive, it s colorful,

but the protagonist of the show are the accessories.

Beautiful handbags, the shoes,

of course we re all into a shoe moment right now,

where all the buyers and editors

are looking at the shoes and questioning

how high can you go?

I actually need to do some history,

and find out who the hell invented the high heel,

cause it sure as hell makes the legs look better,

but it s just such a strange concept

to walk on these little stilts.

If there was one thing I d buy,

it s those wonderful jodhpurs, with the zips,

low rise on the hips.

She wants her casual wear to be really cool and sexy.

The evening wear I thought was stunning,

and today I think

they re really taking Halston, to be honest.

It s really launching Halston quite seriously.

Because I think Gucci did it stunningly.

[Interviewer] That collection seemed to be very you.

I think this collection maybe was closer

to my first ever collection in Gucci,

with the use of the prints, of the colors,

so maybe very unconscious, I would say.

[Interviewer] That whole last passage

with the evening dresses, I could see you in everything.

Really? [laughs]

I think so, maybe, no I don t know.

I didn t try it yet.

I will in the next coming days.
