Gucci Revives and Refreshes Heritage Styles from the Archives

The Gucci Fall Winter 2023 Women’s Collection is a testament to the rich history and contemporary vision of the brand. It encompasses the creative cultures that have influenced Gucci throughout its existence, showcasing the talents of designers and artisans who have shaped the brand for over a century. You can now explore this stunning collection at the newly expanded and revitalized boutique at Greenbelt 4, Makati City. The collection pays homage to Gucci’s cultural significance while adding a fresh dimension to its heritage.

The silhouette of the collection draws inspiration from Gucci’s iconic and glamorous form language of the 1990s and early 2000s. However, it reinvents this aesthetic by infusing it with the vibrant and sumptuous color palette of the 2010s. Oversized suits made from wool or leather feature voluminous shoulders, dropped necklines, and low-riding trousers. Skirts come in longline or knee-length expressions, crafted from sheer fabrics and embellished lace reminiscent of lingerie.

A standout piece in the collection is a crystal-encrusted GG metal bra that sets the tone for the exaggerated cocktail jewelry that adorns necklines and busts, cascading dramatically to the floor. The collection also features tactile oversized knits in brushed mohair and looped yarns, as well as coats and lapels made from oscillating shearling or faux fur in vibrant hues. Eveningwear showcases heart-shaped silhouettes, symbolizing the core essence of the Gucci brand, with drop-waist skirts, double-duchesse bustier dresses, contrast plume embroidery, and Empire gowns.

Accessories play a pivotal role in completing the Gucci Fall Winter 2023 Women’s Collection. Colored visor sunglasses with the Horsebit motif pay homage to a classic Gucci fragrance bottle. Plume-adorned bearskin hats add to the exuberance of the collection driven by Gucci’s enduring creativity. New interpretations of the rounded trapezoid chain bag feature the iconic Horsebit, presented in padded, shearling, crystal, and contrast-leather versions. The Jackie bag, an archival icon, retains its original shape but has been softened in construction and updated with two-tone colors and GG-embossed leather. The classic Gucci loafer has been elevated with rubber soles, while snow boots from the 1960s’ ski collection reemerge in wool and GG canvas, adorned with Horsebits. Kitten heels dominate square sandals, wide-shaft boots, and tigerhead-embellished sandals inspired by the iconic Dionysus bag. Boxing boots and basketball sneakers add a touch of sportswear to the collection.

The Gucci Fall Winter 2023 Men’s Collection embraces improvisation as a method of creation. It reflects the individualities of the multifaceted creatives and craftsmen who shape the Gucci brand. Crystal GG, a lacquered interpretation of the brand’s monogram canvas from the 1970s, symbolizes this collection as a tool for visual freestyling. This unique fabric is used in workwear coveralls, bags, and shoes, with an oversized and relaxed construction that gives them a tactile and aged sensibility. You can find this collection in different colors and silhouettes at both the Greenbelt 4 and Shangri-La boutiques.

Throughout the collection, the individual’s personal style and personality are at the forefront. The garments and accessories invite customization and expressiveness. Jewelry pieces draw inspiration from the Gucci archives, such as the Piston Lock, Horsebit, and Cross, evoking a sense of personal and sentimental relics. The collection features voluminous yet relaxed tailoring, allowing for improvisation in styling. Suits come with detachable elements that transform them into sleeveless jackets and shorts. Sportswear influenced by Gucci’s 1980s archives pays homage to the world of dance, while motorcycle-inspired garments channel archival pieces from the early 2000s and blend with the classic design of overcoats. Denim trousers faded to resemble washed fuel are adorned with Gucci’s original logo from 1953. The Jackie bag has been reinterpreted with a softer construction and embellished with the Piston Lock in faded pastel crocodile editions. The Dionysus bag sheds its original decorative elements but retains the iconic double-edged tiger-headed horseshoe buckle and a new leather strap. Garment bags transformed into shoulder bags feature colored coated canvases, while a new rectangular relaxed holdall and a classic 1970s round-toed ankle boot showcase the Crystal GG canvas. The collection also includes a heeled slipper, a Princetown slipper with an expanded dimension and the signature green-red-green web, and a Horsebit loafer with a lived-in effect, highlighting the collection’s emphasis on personalization. A soft, quilted motorcycle boot is introduced in a variety of colors.
