BACK TO THE CLASSICS

From tracksuits and precise tailoring to glitz and glam, Gucci bids maximalism adieu as they debut their fall/winter 2023 menswear collection at the Milan Men's Fashion Week

GUCCI'S MEN'S FALL/WINTER 2023 collection was likely the most talked about show of the season fashion lovers wondered what kind of collection the brand would present on the runway of the Milan Men's Fashion Week, the first lineup without Alessandro Michele? Among all the speculations, one burning question remains: What will Gucci be like post-Alessandro Michele?

The show took place in a dimly-lit roundabout theatre where Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog sat centre stage playing rock music that got progressively louder and edgier as the show neared its close. In the show notes, Gucci said, "The group appears on a spherical stage around which the show takes place: a circular formation symbolic of the collaborative spinning wheel of the creative community at the heart of Gucci."
