Milan Fashion Week - Gucci's Evolution

Gucci has definitely been having a moment for the last couple of seasons, I think really since designer Alessandro Michele has started designing for fashion house.  The designing, along with the styling, is amazing.  He takes simple things, a cat on a sweater, and makes them really beautiful, something that could definitely look like a sweater a 70 yearly grandmother would wear is now super chic.  And season after season he is definitely building on that signature aesthetic that is now Gucci.  It is interesting to see how it evolves.  He follows his own rules, and as the collections have evolved he has included much more menswear.  I will say that I did not love the collection for AW17 there was a bit too much happening, each element on it's own is beautiful, but sometimes when put all together it makes me a bit anxious.  I would predict that for AW18 there might be a more minimalistic approach, in a different way to the pared down designs from AW15.  At some point it has to come down.

I have tried to put it together below, so you can clearly see below the evolution of the clothes, and also illustrate that "Gucci" style.  The image in each set starts with AW15, AW16, and AW17.  All of the images have come from vogue.com and you can see the full collections in the links below.
