Review:
Appointed Creative Director in 2015, Alessandro Michele is credited with reinvigorating Gucci with his unconventional approach to design, birthing a unique blend of nerdy, vintage-inspired aesthetics with eccentricity and individualism. His collections often referenced the Tom Ford archives of Gucci, enhancing tailored looks with a touch of extravagance.
Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2022 collection, Michele’s final fall showing with the house, was filled with over-the-top-tactile-indulgence, from a knee-length fur coat paired with lace garters to cow-hide trimmed cardigans. One of the standout pieces from Gucci’s 2022 offerings is the ostrich feather vest—an ostentatious topper that drapes languidly over the shoulders. A nod to Michele’s signature furry loafers, the Gucci ostrich feather vest is a gender-fluid, obnoxious statement piece designed to do all the talking, whether it’s thrown over a sweatsuit to run to the grocery store or over formalwear for the office party. An example of the enduring impact Michele has made on the house, the feather vest disregards stereotypes and fashion norms in celebration of outspoken self-celebration.
