Via @anotherloves: Do you ever feel like a Medici heiress crossed with a member of Hell’s Angels, with a deep entomological curiosity and a taste for the glistening rhinestones of the double-aughts? If the answer is yes, then rest assured: @gucci's got you. Thanks to #AlessandroMichele (@lallo25), the storied Italian casa has finally found its calling card as the ultimate sweetie shop for sartorial magpies – Michele himself is like a po-mo angel of the Renaissance, with his luscious Botticelli curls, striped white socks and hands weighted by stacks of ornate jewels. His is a world where Elizabethan ruffles grace embroidered leather jackets; where Japanese souvenir jackets mate with striped athletic baseball styles; and where flora and fauna converge on sentimental country tweeds and distinctly 70s monograms, inevitably trimmed with ribbons and glimmering disco sparkle. . So why exactly is Gucci so hot right now? Well, the answer lies in the unbridled joy of wearing one of these eclectically conceived designs, which are symptomatic of age-old Milanese peacockery. Not only do they feel fabulous and happy to wear, but they are the antithesis of the trackies-and-pool-slider look that has been clawing its way into our wardrobes. If in doubt, ask a child: dressed in Gucci, you become a real-life princess – and a much cooler version of those lame Disney damsels. What’s more, this is not something that you need – who on earth needs a floral jacquard dress with van Dyck ruffles, glass pearls and rhinestone insects? This is neither a dress that will help you seem vaguely normal or sane to a potential employer, date or unfamiliar social group. Nor is it a dress that will take you from early-morning coffee to cocktails at sunset, to borrow from the painful jargon of e-commerce. It is a dress that is for you and you only – a dress that is special and grand and unlike any other. It’s a dress that will make you feel like a pre-Raphaelite muse; as badass as Anne Boleyn; the life and soul of the party wherever you go, whether that’s Pret-a-Manger or Buckingham Palace - and that is simply priceless. . ✍? by @osman_ahmed_, ? by @maxcornwall, ? editor @hols_hay.
