Honestly, just skimming through the news, it seems like Gucci is doing this whole “throwback but make it new” kinda thing. Like, that Horsebit Chain bag? Total Y2K vibes, but, you know, *elevated*. It’s basically Tom Ford-era Gucci but with a 2023 price tag (ouch!). I gotta say, though, the revival thing is kinda working for them. Nostalgia sells, people, it *sells*.
And then there’s the whole Marmont thing. I mean, is the Marmont *ever* not in style? It’s like the little black dress of Gucci bags. Safe, classic, and you can’t really go wrong. Plus, the Gucci Twinsburg show seemed to have a lotta ’em, and that show was *wild*. Nature themes? Interesting choice, Gucci. I’m not sure how a GG Marmont screams “forest nymph” to me, but hey, I’m not a fashion designer. Maybe I’m just missing the point.
Fashionphile’s got the soft quilted leather bag on their “Top 5 for Spring 2023” list. Okay, sure, it’s pretty. Soft leather *is* nice. But is it, like, groundbreaking? Nah. It feels a little… safe again? Maybe I’m just being picky. I mean, a quilted bag is always gonna be a good choice.
Oh, and the campaign with Vittoria Ceretti against the green backdrop? That’s definitely a vibe. They’re really pushing that “past meets present” thing, aren’t they? It’s kinda cool, I guess. I do wonder how much of that is just marketing spin, though. Like, are they *really* innovating, or just repackaging the same old stuff? Probably a bit of both, if I’m honest.
And then you have the OGs – the Jackie and the 1955 Horsebit bag. You can’t really go wrong with a classic, can you? These are the bags that made Gucci, well, Gucci. Timeless, elegant, and still super relevant today. Plus they look great with vintage finds and modern outfits alike.
