THE LOOKS: GUCCI 2011/2012 RTW

Two words best describe GUCCI'S 2011 FALL/WINTER-RTW Collection. Luxurious and chic! For Fall, designer Frida Giannini put basic black on the back burner in favor of vibrant colors such as teal, scarlet, lilac, aubergine and every jewel tome imaginable, all done up in a wide range of eras from '70s Disco, to '40s "Zoot Suit" style menswear. Glam gowns with just the right amount of sex appeal, dare to go there with peekaboo slits which evoke a '40s allure like no other. And the furs...PETA would have a field day...perfectly dyed to match. The GUCCI brand has certainly lived up to it's image as a luxe brand to covet. I love the bold lip and minimal makeup Pat McGrath  created. Simply gorgeous!Check out the rest of the collection  and behind the scenes here.
