Alessandro Michele's second collection as creative director of Gucci, the Resort 2016 line, was another critical and commercial success that expanded on the aesthetics of his debut Fall 2015 collection. Inspired by the 1970s, Michele's retro-inflected maximalist designs featuring berets, pussybow blouses, floral brooches, and statement fur pieces were praised for breathing fresh air into fashion. Michele is compassionate, confident, and dedicated to his visionary designs.
