Gucci Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear

[Rachel Feinstein] It s deep and it s beautiful.

It s like happy goth.

It s romantic goth, versus goth based on death and drugs.

It also exemplifies the perfection of Italian craftsmanship

that doesn t exist anymore anywhere else,

that everything s made impeccably.

[Karen Elson] I adore Alessandro.

It s incredibly beautiful, well-made.

But there s also a light-heartedness as well,

which I really think is fresh and wonderful.

And he s just such a wonderful man.

He s a very special person.

[Gia Coppola] It s very vintage-inspired,

and you can see where he kind of draws his inspiration from

and it s very, kind of historical, in a way.

[Nan Goldin] They re the same clothes I wore

when I was a hippie on the commune.

They are.

They re very reminiscent for me.

He s not afraid of anything.

[Dakota Johnson] I thought it was so incredibly beautiful

and inspiring, and he s even beyond

as talented as he was before,

and people are accepting his work,

and I think he s extraordinary.

[Salma Hayek] The thing is the first time

I go to a fashion show that I don t even

look at the clothes to see what I could wear

because I feel like I m in an installation of art

and I thought it was very emotional and mind-blowing.
