All the references inside Gucci SS18 collection

“I do not want to clarify my position. The ambiguity of what I do is my language. I want to tell personal stories. I do not want to tell a single story but a thousand. I want to become Gucci not a brand but a multiple experience. For me it is claustrophobic make a trend, chasing one track. And then I am fascinated by the idea of slowing down even if it is contradictory to Gucci's rhythm. The fact is, I want to try to linger as much as possible on what is part of my story. See it like a carousel, my carousel. It's the world of the impossible that I'm interested in. The rest depends entirely on who looks at what I do. And by his freedom to read us what he wants”. 

Alessandro Michele explains his idea of fashion, maximalist expression of a thousand voices, ideas, inspirations.
