There was a warm and fuzzy feel to the Gucci menswear show. Perhaps it was a direct result of the upcoming birth of Creative Director Frida Giannini’s first child? And the opening number that featured a baby blue coat can’t be just a coincidence. But even if impending motherhood was not the reason. It was refreshing to see Giannini softening up her more familiar club going, party people style for something a bit more forgiving and inviting. The designer used proportions to underline the concept of loosening up. Outerwear was cut in oversized shapes with strong, rounded shoulders and a more voluminous silhouette to say a black duffle coat or peacoat in pea green.
