We all came here for Ayo

On God

[@theoldmule3619]

Great to see SHOWStudio getting back to the great debates . Great classic panel. I’d love to see a Westwood debate with models and staff who worked with her

[@SCOGE_Legacy]

I can feel the tension between conservative and progressive perspectives. Shout out to Ayo too.

[@laurabondi8283]

Alessandro Michele the visionary of fairy tales, the artist, the coolest genius who took Gucci to the stars. I can" t belive it!....

[@angieb7572]

My thoughts exactly. It’s going to be dull and boring and 90s corporate going forward.

[@Shontise_Shonie]

Yes yes and 🙌🏾 yes 🙌🏾

Call me a stubborn revisionist. Michele had more to do and hadn’t even peaked yet. Coming from a Gucci collector❤

[@understitchYT]

AYOOOOO its Fashion Roadmannn 👏👏👏👏

[@mnaoitb1]

omg my eyes lit up at the thought of Alessandro for Chanel.

[@sakuragi9607]

AYooo the fashion roadman

[@ytknits4892]

Some of these panelists flipped from ‘this collection is a breath of fresh air’ to ‘this collection is a placeholder’ real quick

[@periscope7731]

Highlights the cyclical nature of fashion. Why should I spend this much at the new Gucci when I can get the same look for much less at The Frankie Shop? Just mix that label with an iconic Gucci loafer shoe!

[@daved3730]

That Ayo guys a genius

[@denniskeller5441]

Ayo in the House 🎉🫶🙌🏻

[@deconstructedluxury1964]

Love this return to form for showstudio. Let's face it, gucci wants shareholder returns over creative concepts. It's hard to start over and consciously ignore Michele's massive creative stamp on the brand. The team did their best under the circumstances, but it fell a bit flat. There should have been a break before the next phase of gucci.

[@jamesslate1026]

I hope that wherever Michele lands, he will be allowed to express his genius creativity, much like John Galliano, now the creative director for Maison Margiela. Michelle's vision was brilliant, but I can see that it was not a good fit for Gucci.

[@peacebewithyou7696]

I can hear it all 😭. 🔮. Ayo 💎

[@luckyblue3501]

These people all dress with the same dread that you feel at a funeral and I’m not talking about the color black but the blandness so I’m not super surprised that they yearn for boring basics. However the magazine creative director I like

[@nickolette22]

Was looking forward to these discussions ❤

[@pariskimart]

i just hope that this FW23 show was about taking "a step back in other to move 2 steps forward" means surely I miss the Alessandro Michele era alllreeeadddyy!

[@kuya5000]

lets go ayo!!!

[@odessachen]

Going Maximalist in this day and age is not going to resonate with people who define themselves as “normal”. It’s for the Dreamers, the dramatic and whimsical, those who are unafraid to stand out. Most prefer to be part of a crowd but to look expensive (at the top pf the hierarchy of the crowd). Alessandro was original and brave and going against the times. Dress for the iconoclasts and non conformists.

[@angieb7572]

If this collection was a “breath of fresh air” take me back to the pollution of GG 2017

[@kylem566]

Though I love a collaborative conversation I feel like the perspective of one panel member is very objective and singular to her opinion and personal tastes. I think it is important to listen and also consider things beyond what we feel is correct. Though Alessandro’s vision wasn’t a personal favourite I can appreciate the success and uniqueness of his Gucci.

[@vegev5709]

LMAO at the "easy on the eye" compliment. Fuck the old costumer this collection was sad

[@Shontise_Shonie]

I would have loved to hear Patrica Field and Molly Rogers speak on this….these ladies are fly!!!!!!

[@AdovianDones]

Also heard Tom Ford is coming back in house! 😮 I expect significant price increases speaking to the commercialization🤦‍♂️

[@PAXONshop]

Looove the set design!

[@Sept1973]

So glad this discussion was held, the new collection was very lame and generic it was purely transitional because they have no creative director yet that has any individual style. Allesandro was genius and his personality was through the entirety of his collections, & the fun references to by gone era’s and pop culture and subculture and music was exciting and connected on multiple generations understanding of fashion. It will take a very special designer to take Gucci to a new influential level that Allesandro did.

[@Shontise_Shonie]

Well said!!!!!!!

[@rockyhrndz]

Glad he is gone! It was one note. Time to move on.

[@96powerpower]

loved andrew's insight

[@vidform]

Maybe Gucci could hire Jony Ive, Marc Newson or Evans Hankey (all from Apple) as creative director. It might be interesting to see what an industrial designer could do for a luxury fashion brand. Tom Ford was clean and se*y. Alessandro Michele was ornate and dorky. They were both cool in their polar opposites, so maybe Gucci will go for something that's in-between for a happy middle with a techy edge.

[@yuke00457]

Good point ✋🏻

[@yuke00457]

Anyway, it's going to be interesting to see how the team is going to cross polinate these antagonist worlds. (*And then, you get Alexander McQueen*) Except that it's not Alexander McQueen

[@yuke00457]

I mean, if you take quirky, sleek and sexy with a chopped head here or there

[@peacebewithyou7696]

Let’s get back to Classic Gucci For a while Thank you.

[@indiawilliams4560]

Anyone else miss the fashion week discussions?

[@yuke00457]

And, I think since the brand doesn't have the textile development/production tradition to go a bit Dries van Noten. You know, to balance things up

[@yuke00457]

Just with a bit more clivage 😂

[@gabrielenriquez6156]

those two in the middle are as boring as those menswear clothes

[@laurabondi8283]

This collection is so trivial, seen and overseen!....the touch of Alessandro no longer exist!

[@EmmaEffa]

Ayo. Full stop. ❤

[@MaisonLafitte]

What a funeral ambiance. 😮 Wish they would talk more with each other. Literally nobody make eye contact.

[@corpojp6624]

can they actually design beautiful classic styles that are not only suited to 20 something, stick insect types of 'boys' What happened to style with an ageless look considering the prices you pay. Gucci is all about the bags, not so much into the clothes (way too overpriced and quality is not what it should be).

[@fastrelief]

Loved the new collection. Coats and wide legged pants are my favourite. No more in your face kitsch was very much needed imo

[@colinaitken5090]

You think they would get a panel that has a sense of fashion,looks like they got dressed in the dark

[@jesusisapisces]

The whole all-blk-everything is tired now.

[@yuke00457]

You know, I still have a feeling this was a massive mistake, not only for championing the designer over the corporcrates for a good reason - the profits were doing just fine to say the least. But, think of all the Harajuku lot who worshipped the guy.

[@Bo-Sasha]

❤

[@JG-qt3pn]

Art for Art's sake, money for God's sake.

[@DavidSBag]

I love Gucci now. Simple and chic. Michele first collection for Gucci was amazing but after that was terrible ( clothing for morons).

[@trunke1085]

white vs black vision LOL

[@DWDNM]

This collection is dry.

[@djslikkshola]

It was trash 😂😭

[@robertodanieldelatorre7731]

Right like I didn’t know what they where talking about

[@sealselkie7682]

Микеле делал гениальные рекламные компании, но сама одежда уродовала носящих её. Это был просто секондхенд. Хорошо что он ушёл. Думаю ему надо заниматься рекламой или кино.
