Walk the Walk: Gucci F/W 2012 Collection

Frida Giannini shows the F/W 2012 Gucci collection on the first day of Milan Fashion Week and she brings us to a darker side of the Gucci universe. Even though the colour palette is still associated with the jewel tone, it is rather darker than the previous seasons. Artificial flowers are now being crystallized and they are embellished on the evening gowns. Floral prints are also heavily used in this collection but they are emitting a very dark vibe than what you may have expected. As for the silhouette, Frida is staying the classic Gucci woman look, which she should be elegant and classy, with a little hint of dramatic. This collection may not be as strong as the last F/W season, but still, there are many strong pieces that I can imagine showing up in the future editorials.

Pros:
- Frida is pretty much bring us on a luxurious wildlife field trip by showing us the floral prints, fur, feathers and crystal flowers.
- The floral prints are pretty and help to show the elegance side of a Gucci woman.
- The last few gowns, in my opinion, are almost custom made for Florence Welch. She can totally rock those outfits without any problem.
- the dark jewel tone colour palette actually makes the clothes to look heavier, even though there is sheer material.
- The high boots are very nice.

Cons:
- Even though I like this collection, I think this is not as strong as last F/W collection.

Eye Candies:
- Floral suit
- Floral print skirt
- Feather skirt
- Gowns with crystal embellishments.
- Boots
