The palette for Frida Giannini's collection for Gucci shown in Milan was black, white and pale grey, with splashes of tangerine and cobalt. There were lots of skinny pants, high waisted shorts and skirts, jersey gowns and leather jackets. This is a body conscious collection, which featured complicated beading and sequin embellishments as well as geometric cut outs which showed plenty of skin. Frida is a very smart designer: the more conservative clients will snap up the gorgeous leather jacket, cute minidresses and white pants, while the more exhibitionist of her clients (think the red carpet for the Grammys) will love the dresses which feature cut outs on the waist, the better to show off all those hours at the gym.
As with most of the Milan collections, brown leather accessories were key: a giant brown leather satchel is the must-have bag for spring. Take a look:
