Sometimes a collection comes along, and it stops you dead in your tracks. Such is the case for me with Gucci Resort 2016. It seems retro-inspired looks are making a comeback, and not just in smaller, independent labels. Big wigs like Gucci are letting their retro freak flag fly high, and I’m pretty excited about it. The distinct 60/70s influence, with bold patterns and vintage silhouettes are clearly what drew me to the whole collection initially, but when I looked closely, what I really loved the most were the matching sets. I am not joking when I say I could wear matching sets every single day. So I get pretty damn excited when I see brands producing items that are so flippin’ hard to find vintage. Not that I could afford Gucci, I never could, obviously. But you know that smaller brands and shops will be reproducing knockoffs of looks similar to this, and that, I can afford.
What do you guys think of the collection? Loving it? Hating it?














I love this collection too! The Gucci men’s collection is just as good. I read in Vogue that Gucci recently hired a new creative director and that he’s inspired by antique printed fabric and believes that no collection should be limited to only 2 prints, so there should be lots of colorful interesting collections from him. Yay!

Yes, I read about him as well. I’m excited to see what’s to come. If it’s going to be more fun and goodness like this, then I might just become a real Gucci fan yet.
