Focus on gender equality and personal freedom.
Last night Alessandro Michele presented the Gucci 2020 Cruise collection in Rome’s Capitoline Museums – a perfect venue for a designer who is obsessed with the past.

We saw plenty of tributes to the Eternal City including tunics, togas, pallas and jewellery featuring the face of Roman semi-god Hercules, but it were the messages of freedom and gender equality that rang out the loudest. Two of pieces that truly captured the essence of the collection were the dress featuring embroidered ovaries, and a jacket with the feminist slogan from the 70s reading ‘My Body My Choice’.

As with the previous shows, Michele stuck with the gender fluid format with male and female models dressed in a mix of masculine and feminine shapes. He wants Gucci to be a place where a person can be whoever they want to be, without restriction or judgement.
The Italian house is pushing the message of equality more than ever with their recent introduction of diversity and awareness initiative – and Dubai is part of it.

Gucci’s current muse Harry Styles was present and also performed at the after party alongside legendary singer Stevie Nicks. Guests were fully immersed in the world of Alessandro Michele and his home city of Rome and were even invited to visit to his favourite antique book store, Antica Libreria Cascianelli.
