Outlandish fashion falls flat in these days of crisis, with designers preferring a return to the "oldies but goodies," which don't have to pass the test of time.
Frida Giannini, the Roman designer who took over the reins at Gucci several years ago, dips into the horsey past of the Florentine house for inspiration, especially for her replica hermes handbags, but never succumbs to nostalgia.
The show presented Wednesday, the first day of the six-day preview showings, is colorful and fast-moving with a sophisticated elegance gleaned from a 1970's feel and a Mediterranean allure.
High-waisted tulip skirts share the runway with harem pants. Softly tailored men's jackets compete with fitted riding jackets and bomber jackets. Bright shades of orange, purple and green contrast with safari beige and basic black.
Ferretti's option is quite contemporary. The Italian designer represents that portion of modern women who prefer a romantic rather than edgy approach to fashion.
The alluring styles can be either short or long, but never sexy. They caress rather than grab the body, and their transparency is more a hint than a revelation.
