Some are calling this Gucci 2.0. Some are calling this his most wearable collection ever. But underneath the original Gucci uniform of Byzantine metallics, cacophony of colours and botanics, and gender-fluid outfits, Alessandro Michele definitely wants us to know that he is no one-trick pony.

He has since turned the brand around and, in a remarkable shift, made Gucci relevant to millennials and Generation Zs— the demographic group that every luxury brand is desperately trying to get their hands on.
