Alessandro Michele said Gucci will not be ready to show in September.
“We’ve been called to order by the Earth and we are all aware that we cannot re-propose the past after this cataclysm,” said Gucci’s creative director during a video conference with the press on Monday.
Michele said the pandemic was a signal to slow down and that Gucci will not be ready to present a collection in September. “We’ll show further down the road,” he said, without giving details. The change will allow him to “bring oxygen” to his creativity as well as that of the artisans that contribute to the success of Made in Italy and Gucci’s production, he continued.“Creativity is the only bridge that will lead us anywhere,” Michele said.
On Monday, he elaborated, saying that “we have inherited vocabulary terms that were born in other moments. As in rope jumping, we have to learn to avoid tripping over them. I don’t know if we need these words. Cruise, pre-fall are really antique terms, emptied of their significance. You know I love looking at the past, but to be productive in the present. These scheduled appointments were not very stimulating in terms of creativity.
“I would like the reversal to continue, I am trying to complete this uncovering. I did the casting and it will be a beautiful thing,” the designer said of Epilogue. “For me it was important and necessary. Closed at home, we questioned and studied so much that we produced something that is also the reflection of what is inside my studio.”Michele confirmed he will hold two coed shows a year, predicting they will be in the fall and in the spring.
