MANILA, Philippines - Graphic chic sculpted by optical combinations and ignited by striking flashes of gold. That defines Cruise 2012, a modern bon ton by Gucci.
“I wanted to create a collection from a timeless aesthetic while re-examining the House’s codes through a contemporary lens,” explains creative director Frida Giannini. “I set out to contaminate the styles seen in archival photographs from the Fifties and Sixties with a modern vision.”
More elements in this vision: Tactile sensations from unexpected material combinations. Overlapping pieces with sheer cuts and contrasting colors, synthesized in trompe l’oeil outfits. A mix and match inclination applied with a sophisticated approach towards prints. Colorful leopard. Macro cashmere. Animal flowers. Tapestry. A true imprint.
In the Philippines, Gucci is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Greenbelt 4, Ayala Center and Rustan’s Tower Shangri-La Plaza Mall.
