Gucci Revisits 60s Style Timeless Marras at Milan Fashion
Italian designer Frida Giannini energetically revisited the 1960s for Gucci, while Antonio Marras' otherworldly romance had a timeless quality.

Upbeat optimism shone through at Gucci which has very short black A-line dresses, pepped up with criss-crossing bands of red and fuchsia silk, in store for spring-summer 2007.

Indeed, the designer even allowed the vivid colours, in both matte and gloss, to run along the legs of straight black pants, even to outline the waist or the pockets on short black skirts.

Wide belts with a triple buckle added emphasis.

But for softer embellishment, Giannini covered embroidered flowers in pink, red and brick over the front and back of trousers, or as the shirt front of a short-sleeved mini-dress.

The allure of high-shine also held its own for a white patent coat, cut short and straight, adorned with a belt of tiny mirrors, or a trapeze dress embroidered with pearls and gold.
