Make
no mistake; you must be a certain type of woman that can pull off these
designs. She should possess moxie, good taste and a strong sense of
chutzpah. This collection embodies the essence of "BADASSNESS".
Is there anything wrong with wearing a collection that allows a woman to be
a figure of noteworthy badassery? From the Al Capone wool fedora to the lavish
fox fur accessorizing certain pieces, Stevie Wonder could see the color, the
cut of the design, the luminosity of the fabric, and the beautiful women
wearing it. Gucci is recognized as a designer that has always pushed
the envelope with color and extravagance, but I adore this color palette.
There is a uniform pattern, or just a plain audaciousness that screams
"BAM"!! It is understood that anyone remotely feeling the role
of a lackey or servitude will open the door graciously for the diva
romancing this collection. The
androgyny of this collection is quite reminiscent of the days of Capone and
prohibition, but instead of these mobsters carrying a Tommy Gun or a case of
watered down bourbon, they carry a matching bag with color that blends
perfectly with their tailored outfit. One could easily be thrust back
during an era when Sulka, the men's haberdashery, dressed all of the great
prominent male icons, even the Goodfellas of that time period. Gucci's
distinctive lines and Tom Ford maintaining a sense of this company's history of
Florence luxury shall always prevail...molto bella.
