Gucci's green and gold girls


gucci SS09/wwd


Yesterday frockwriter told you that Myf Shepherd would be adding Gucci to her blockbuster freshman OS runway season. And add Gucci she did (below) - alongside fellow compatriot, and fellow Chic-ette, Abbey Lee Kershaw (^), who booked a Gucci runway exclusive for the second Milan season in a row.

Called Gucci Exotica, the collection groaned with mannish, cropped trouser suits, ocean-toned print maxidresses and draped block colour goddess gowns with asymmetric necklines.

Also on offer, a series of shorter print kaftans and a sweet safari story with just an ounce of utility - the cutest exponent, a coffee-coloured playsuit teamed with with a silky tobacco anorak.

It seems the combat pant is never going away - nor indeed the gladiator sandal, which has been omnipresent on the SS09 runways.

According to The New York Times' blog The Moment, there was a 'model wipeout' at the end of the show - one must assume, courtesy of Gucci's sky-high sandals.

After the trip fracas over the previous evening's Prada show, which has dominated Prada's SS09 publicity, you'd figure designers might start having a bit of a rethink about the shoes.
