Gucci Cruise 2015 Collection


Trompe-l’œil. This could be the motto of the Gucci Cruise 2015 collection designed by creative director Frida Giannini.

Trompe-l’œil as technical craftsmanship – see the new carryall layered tote bag based on a double construction.
Trompe-l’œil as virtuosity – see the foulards, dresses, skirts and coats in nappa and plongé leather as supple and soft as silk.
Trompe-l’œil as imitation – see the three-dimensional flower shape crystal embroideries.
But most of all trompe-l’œil as illusion.

Illusion could also be one way to define luxury : the visible is apparently neutral (see the graphic lines of the architectured outerwear conceived as classic essentials, see the main color palette as soft and pale as a quiet garden in a winter morning sunlight), but the inner essence is perfectly sumptuous, fully feminine.
The surface is only a sheer apparence, the woman more subtle and subversive. Darker.

There are more ways to live as only in the sunlight. Night, dusk and dawn offer other opportunities, to be and to blossom.
This is the meaning of the reinterpretation of the iconic Flora pattern by Canadian painter Kris Knight : giving a nocturnal twist to the floral bouquet, he was inspired by antique Roman women who used specific flowers to command power over men – through seduction or sorcery.

Beyond the surface, you find sensuality (see the tactile detailings like python collars and mother of pearl snap buttons, or the unlined effect of plongé leather)
– beyond the surface is the world of mystery.


Let's follow the path paved by the color palette of the Gucci Cruise 2015 collection, from solar into dark, through pastel and neutral shades, starting with radiant blue essentials.
