Dear Shaded Viewers,
Gucci announces that Creative Director Alessandro Michele will present his new collection through a fashion show held in Los Angeles on November 3rd, 2021.
Six years after his first Cruise runway show in New York City at the Dia-Art Foundation, Alessandro Michele will return to the United States, in Los Angeles – a city that continues to provide him a constant source of inspiration and which has played a significant role in Gucci’s hundred-year history.
The show will coincide with the occasion of the 10th LACMA Art+Film Gala, taking place on November 6th, for which Gucci is the founding and presenting sponsor.
In April 2020, Michele announced via Instagram that he wanted to skip the official calendar of shows in Milan for the foreseeable future.
“I will abandon the worn-out ritual of seasonalities and shows to regain a new cadence, closer to my expressive call. We will meet just twice a year, to share the chapters of a new story. Irregular, joyful and absolutely free chapters, which will be written blending rules and genres, feeding on new spaces, linguistic codes and communication platforms,” Michele wrote, in a major disruption.
The move meant Gucci became the second house within the giant luxury Kering group to decide, in the wake of the global pandemic, to exit the international runway season in both Milan and Paris. It joined Saint Laurent, Kering’s largest French label, which has not shown in Paris for the past several seasons.
