Gucci fashion show Gucci. It’s not a mistake. And if he was, then he is the most successful in the world. An ode to the strength of solidarity and the value of twinning by Alessandro Michele. The press kit anticipated this. As well as giant photographs of pairs of identical faces, carefully studying the front row. Gucci fashion show spring-summer 2023 will deal with me twinsWith double, equal and opposite identities. Welcome to Twinsburg, the city that does not exist, the city of twins, the city of compatible souls, bodies and spirits. Welcome to the Gucci show, more specifically to the Alessandro show, more specifically to the show of Eralda and Giuliana, the two mothers of creative director Alessandro Michele (“it was not so important for me to know which of the two gave birth to me.Olympus of the generative deities”, we read in a press release explaining the concept of the show, openly dedicated to two mothers of twins).
The show is obviousrepeats all the trappings of the classic Gucci show, almost a déjà vu wardrobe with amazing cameos from little bags. But always these double eyes (or rather quadruple ones) and the same ones are on the alert. Once the fashion show has started, we start asking ourselves: where are the twins. Where I am? Why are they still looking at us? And instead.
But then the real show begins. The wall of photocopied faces rises and leaves room for a terrace equal and opposite to the one in front of it, and for an aisle twice as large as Drops of water that meet in the middle start the parade, take each other’s hands (a gesture of destructive humanity, one of which would be enough to save the world), they walk down the catwalk together and go a little further.
It wasn’t just a parade twice we didn’t just see double looks and twin models, there was a lot moresomething else happened.
On the podium was all the power he could unleash meeting of two bodies and two kindred souls: we visited SINTESI. Those present at the performance felt it next to them, around them, inside themselves. Ordinary becomes extraordinary, meeting becomes partnership a farewell that establishes an eternal bond.
The synthesis, again, the prowess, the energy, the attraction of two equal hands, two equal but unique bodies that decide to unite, unite, made this show the perfect blueprint for how to design properly: together. This is what happens when fashion becomes accessible to the beautiful story of Alessandro Michele, who again indulges himself with eternal generosity and reveals all the secrets of life made possible by mother Eralda and mother Juliana. To be born twice, one hundred to die.
