Gucci’s Androgynous Spring – Gucci was inspired by the early twentieth century art-deco era for its spring 2012 collection shown during the first day of major shows for Milan Fashion Week. For the new season, the Gucci woman looks ready for a cruise with sharp blazers, tailored pants, animal prints and cut-out bathing suits. Feminine yet androgynous, Gucci creative director Frida Giannini stuck to a dark color palette of black and white with metallic accents.
