Alessandro Michele’s stamp on Gucci

alessandro michelle, a great revolutionary in the fashion world, leaves Gucci after almost 8 years as the brand’s creative director. His great passion for art and philosophy has inspired him to make a large part of his designs. All with a unique perspective, disregarding the gender gap and focusing on fashion that is as inclusive as possible.

The development of his passion for fashion was mainly inspired by his environment, his mother worked as an assistant in the cinematographic sector and his father showed a great interest in art and poetry. He grew up watching art and decided he wanted to be a part of that world, so he trained at the Academy of Costume and Roman Fashion with the goal of becoming a costume designer. His professional career started designing accessories for Fendi and it wasn’t until 2002 that Gucci decided to knock on his door to make him part of the team. He started as the right hand of Frida Gianniniat that time creative director of the company, and already in 2015 after leaving her position, Alessandro became her successor.

The first collection of the Roman designer was created in just 5 days and was a great success. Since then, sales at Gucci have only grown and his creations have given the house a vintage and androgynous atmosphere that has never been seen before. The vast majority of his collections reflect his strong personality and his approach to the fluid genre has led him to create unique pieces.

Throughout his professional career with the Italian house, Alessandro has starred in or taken part in some of the brand’s star moments. It was thanks to him that the double G buckle belt became a main accessory in the wardrobe of many, and after 7 years it is still one of the bestsellers. Another of his great successes was last year’s collaboration where Gucci merged with Balenciaga to create Aria, a unique collection that perfectly combines the best of both firms, creating totally iconic pieces. Designs like the gucci bag with the engraving “This is not a Gucci bagor the jacket in shades of beige and brown intertwining the logos of both were some of the most famous.

Alessandro not only designed, he also created moments or found the ideal ambassadors. Harry Styleshis favorite ambassador became the cover of a well-known publication where, for the first time in history, a man appears alone and thanks to him, dressed in Gucci.

He wasn’t the only one to mark a key moment with the signature flag in the middle. Billy Eilish She was chosen to bring the designs of the house closer to the younger generations with completely androgynous designs or surprises such as the appearance with her partner, Jesse Rutherfordat the LACMA gala in pajamas and covered in a large signature comforter.

Without a doubt, Michele sets the bar very high, she has made history, transformed the fashion world and starred in some of the most important moments. Whatever the reason for your abandonment, we know you will take your art with you wherever you go.
