Alessandro Michele presented the Gucci Cruise18 collection in Florence. After the no of Athens for the Pantheon, Michele stared at Palazzo Pitti.
"At the beginning, everything started in the Mediterranean, the Greek, and Roman cultures," he said, "But we could not have Athens, so I went to the next big step in civilization, the Renaissance, so we came here to Florence, the fascinating metropolis of the past, the place that had the power of big money".

And it is here, in the cradle of Italian beauty that Michele staged his Cosmopolitan Renaissance, transforming the Palatine Gallery into a modern Salone degli Specchi. Keeping Maison's new aesthetic codes up, Michele offers this Cruise collection a journey through epochs and continents, wisely mixing baroque vibrations, Hellenic elements, Oriental prints and contemporary designs.
Light up the classic reminiscences that show the initial choice of parading in the Greek Parthenon with laurel wreaths and tiaras with golden lutes alternating leopard prints, fur necks and pearls combined with psychedelic sketches of vestiges' 60s. The Alessandro Michele's taste for excess approaches the ages, mixing them and presenting them as a single temporal continuum, an autoironic and well aware Baroque garden of rare and unusual beauty.
