Cupboard of CURIOSITIES

Alessandro Michele and Harry Styles invite you into their shared creative dialogue that formed a fun collaboration -the Gucci HA HA HA collection.

- SHARMITA SUMMUGAM

It began as a friendship filled with laughter that soon evolved into a fashion fantasy that we have all been unconsciously waiting for; the Gucci HA HA HA collection echoes the sartorial craftsmanship of the past with delicious spoons full of quirk. However, HA HA HA is not only the union of the initials of 'Harry' and the creative director of Gucci 'Alessandro' but also a recurring motif that always appeared within their personal conversations.

The sun was out, and the city was buzzing as Gucci unveiled this special collaboration in an intimate presentation at Cavalli e Nastri, a vintage store in the center of Milan, filled with delectable ready-to-wear pieces, accessories, and little treasures from all decades (a haven for all vintage fashion connoisseurs).

Set against a backdrop of vintage gems, the Gucci HA HA HA collection was right at home. It was sometimes quite fun trying to tell apart the looks from the collection and the actual vintage pieces, and this was apparently done on purpose. Another brilliant idea from the creative genius that is Alessandro Michele.
