Gucci Fashion Show

Gucci Fashion show is of cruise. If cruise shows are all about transporting the audience, Alessandro Michele deserves the award for the most dazzling spectacle to date in a season thick with powerful imagery. The Gucci creative director chose the Alyscamps, a Roman necropolis in the southern French city of Arles, as the setting for his show, and took full advantage of the area's epic history with a nighttime display that transcended space and time with a trove of references ancient and modern. Clouds of smoke and rows of church candles bathed the open-air space in a Gothic ambience, enhanced by the haunting soundtrack of Claudio Monteverdi's "Vespers for the Blessed Virgin."
