Gucci’s Version Of A Quarantine Is Extremely Chic

For the most recent the fall ‘20 runway show last February, Michele upturned the fashion show structure completely. The show, titled “The Ritual,” gave the audience the chance to see what happens behind the scenes at a fashion show. Behind a transparent screen, models could be seen getting dressed in their final looks. Once they were fully dressed, each model took their spot on the edge of the rotating stage. In the show notes, Michele explained his reasoning for the flipped format, saying: “There’s something though, in this ceremony, that usually stays buried: the struggle of the parturient that accompanies the tremble of creation; the mother’s womb where poetry blooms, from shape to shape. Therefore, I decided to unveil what lies behind the curtains. May the miracle of skillful hands and holding breath come out of the shadows.”
