The fashion calendar repeats itself, designers recycle trends and references, and thanks to the pace of online life, styles are now “back” just as quickly as they left.
Five times a year, for the fall and spring seasons for men and women plus resort, Alessandro Michele designs a collection, puts on a show that lasts about 10 to 15 minutes, and then it’s out in the world for others to dissect. Rinse, repeat. This time, he invited us all behind the scenes: Guests entered the show through a staging area on Thursday afternoon, where models in robes appeared to be having their hair and makeup done.

The collection was an extension of what we’ve come to expect from Gucci: eccentric freaks and geeks, Italian opulence and piety, plus some kinkiness from last season, which was inspired by the Tom Ford–era at the brand.
