the new gucci man: s/s 2009
frida’s collection for gucci is a stamp, her own brand. she has definitely stepped out of tom ford’s shadow. i love tom ford, i love his elegance and glamour mixed with punk to create a style that is definitely his. although miles from your usual gucci man, frida giannini have created an image of happiness; colors everywhere like a child with a box of crayons. over all, the new gucci guy is courageous, relaxed, if not, flamboyant but still conscious and stylish!
from the lot i like this the best. the tailoring is still immaculate, undeniably gucci; though most fashion houses like lanvin and hermes have this voluminous/pajama look for spring, the gucci man is still stylish, lean and cut throat fierce. he is not shy with the play of colors for this season with colored and printed jeans, jackets and suits. the lush of tropical flora and fauna all over the gucci man. at first it may seem tacky and uninspiring but as we all know, it’s all about the execution. even the bags and shoes have a splash of color and a playful detail print of hibiscus (that’s gumamela for you pinoys), parrots and other exotic birds and flower. and speaking of accessories, for me, this collection’s strength is on the accessory. the aquamarine crocodile tote is perfection so is the electric blue bag satchel.
here are my top picks:

I know im slap happy people just tell me what hobbies your fathers have for this coming holiday please please. Actually I just need your opinions on what to get dad for fathers day.
