REACTING TO GUCCI X BALENCIAGA (a logo nightmare)
Gucci s Fall 2021 collection was a hacking of Demna Gvasalia s Balenciaga collections. I still don t know what a hacking is but, it pretty much was a way for Gucci to adopt Balenciaga s styles, signature silhouettes, handbags, shoes, and logos and combine them with Gucci aesthetics and tropes. Alessandro Michele s Gucci wasn t totally washed away though, as the Gucci monogram was in full effect. References to Guccio Gucci, the brand s founder was seen in Savoy Club text. The famed Horsebit style was given a BDSM remix with the help of Alessandro as well. And oh so many nods to Tom Ford s revamp of the brand.
