Milan Fashion Week: Gucci autumn/winter 2012

19.05.12

"A dark glamour", is how Frida Giannini , Gucci's designer-in-chief described the collection she hopes women will yearn for next winter. In roughly-tied back Pre-Raphaelite hair, morbidly heavy make-up and deathly, ripe-red lipstick her models strode through the company's velvet -benched fashion amphitheatre dressed as broodily Romantic anti-heroines: even the large-print and jacquard florals were glummed up by placement on a black background.

For her day-wear section there were swathes of protectively flamboyant layering in fur, William Morris -ish flock-effect velvet florals in plummy red, black, and dark green, plus treated furs and shearling. The overcoats, worn on top of velvet jackets, ruffled chiffon blouses and black semi-sheer dresses were protectively enveloping - rich women's armour - as were the smattering of wide-legged trousers amongst the sexily back-split skirts.

Giannini is a keen horsewoman, and used those Morris style reliefs in wide-at-the-thigh jodphur trousers worn on flat-heeled boots and sharply cut riding jackets accessorised with stirrup-clasped bags looped across the wrist.

Royal wedding: is this a fairytale? No, it is the real thing Ed Stourton may be doing his sonorous Radio 4 thing somewhere, but the television cameras have streaked away from all that, away and beyond, and are swooping up and down the staggering Gothic canyons of Westminster Abbey, racing along the colonnades of

Less is more: The new minimalist

The show, organized by Phong Bui and Linnea Kniaz, feels cohesive in visual theme, with its repeated images of women dressed either in nightwear, like shut-ins, or in awkwardly tailored dresses that don't quite fit (too large, too small, too garish).
