When Tom Ford was at the helm of the luxe label in the ’90s, his brazen collections were tailored to temptresses. But creative director Frida Giannini has brought a fresh femininity to the clothes. More subtle than smouldering, designs tend toward the fluid and luxurious. The 2009 spring-summer collection, dubbed Gucci Exotica, mixes soft, tropical-print fabrics in turquoise, papaya, emerald and purple. Silhouettes are lifted from menswear but retain their femininity: safari-style suits paired with miniskirts and rolled shorts, or suits layered with bold leaf-printed shirts.
