If you’re looking for the perfect way to kickstart fashion week, then Alessandro Michele is your guy. See, Gucci is the hub of ingenuity and Alessandro Michele sees this creativity and doubles it. Epically! His rendition of the Italian House’s codes and values takes on a new dimension, as he introduces “an unrepeatable ritual” - perhaps in his own world, a ritual where backstage is actually the stage. Indeed, as soon as show-goers stepped into the hub, they took part in all the backstage action, watching models get ready for the grand show. So one would only expect your run-of-the-mill runway show, right? Wrong.
As the show unraveled, everyone was enticed with the melody and the rotating platform that revealed models getting dressed with the help of an unbelievable crew.
