Dress

S/S 2006 (made)
Artist/Maker
Gucci (designers)
Giannini, Frida (designer)
Place of origin
Italy (made)

Following the departure of Tom Ford as Creative Director of Gucci, Frida Giannini stepped in to take his place. In her first Gucci collection as the Creative Director for women's ready-to-wear (S/S 2006), Giannini shows traces of Ford's interest in sensuality, even overt sexiness. Her use of colour and a form-fitting silhouette suggest Ford's lingering legacy.

Giannini often mixes clean lines with lavish details, demonstrated here with the dress's simple shape and the vibrant blue and green floral textile.
