Under the lights of Hollywood Boulevard, the Roosevelt Hotel and Chinese Theatre and along the famous Walk of Stars, <\/span>Gucci<\/span><\/a> Creative Director Alessandro Michele paid homage to his love of old Hollywood and the drama of cinema with a Spring Ready-To-Wear collection straight off the silver screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was, to put it mildly, a lot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Michele knows how to put on a show. And fashion, beneath all the sequins and satin, is just that – a show. An act of drama with every drape of chiffon or fold of silk.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that after graduating, Michele had plans on entering costume design. A love of movies had been instilled by his mother, herself a lover of film, since childhood and it\u2019s been threading its way slowly but surely into the Gucci DNA since Michele took the top job.<\/span><\/p>\n

This collection, at this location, on the cusp of the release of Ridley Scott\u2019s much anticipated House of Gucci<\/em> starring Lady Gaga, felt almost predestined.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pouring out of the gateway of the Chinese Theatre, an army of cinematic tropes (115 to be exact – Michele shows no signs of slowing down or editing back) paraded before a guest list that was just as decadently dressed as the models themselves. <\/span><\/p>\n

Honestly, it felt like a Gucci retrospective at the same time as we were viewing the current collection: <\/span>Gwyneth Paltrow<\/span><\/a> had donned a revamped version of the Tom Ford-for-Gucci red velvet tux she wore to the 1996 VMAs; Diane Keaton wore the new Balenciaga Gucci hack. Miley Cyrus<\/a> was dripping fringe and feathers.<\/span><\/p>\n

But back to the show\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

The references to iconic fashion on film came thick and fast, with nearly every pillar of Hollywood history present: feathered gowns straight out of the boudoir of Norma Desmond<\/a>. Cowboy hats, a nod to the grand Western, were worn with silk suits, softening the hypermasculine symbol according to Gucci\u2019s androgynous codes while ing\u00e9nues in calico dresses floated alongside Elizabeth Taylor’s Cleopatra<\/em>-inspired serpent gowns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Young, would-be Montgomery Clifts and James Deans in beach-inspired shirts and loose trousers and a score of suiting for women that Katherine Hepburn would no doubt be more than happy to wear strutted down the star-studded pavement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peppered throughout were modern touches – monogrammed leggings and tights that will no doubt make their way onto a thousand Instagram posts in the months to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a bright frothy fantasy that, yes, matched the \u201cwhat dreams are made of\u201d myth of America, Los Angeles and making it in Hollywood but there\u2019s a point where even glorious chaos needs some editing. Just a tiny bit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, Hollywood has always had its darker side too, and Alessandro Michele dug into this with latex and lingerie ensembles along with cheeky sex-toy inspired accessories, including a butt plug necklace and anal bead ropes. The eroticism of film or the infamous casting couch?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But more than anything, the collection was a celebration of the romance of movies – the magic of making them. A selection of songs by Bjork provided a dreamlike soundtrack that only emphasised the theatrical nature of what was on display.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s ultimately what great fashion is – theatre.<\/span><\/p>\n
