When Gucci AW18 goes High in Persian Qajar 🔥⚡️ by Alessandro Michele Other then getting Inspired from Qajar For AW18, Michele was pushing boundaries. This was fashion for the magical realists. The designer had drawn on a “post-human” Gucci cyborg to find his theme — and staged his show in a brutal, overlit surgical theatre. Everything was fluid — men, women, monsters were all here — and often combined. The clothes, many of which were quite straightforward (and highly commercial), were deliberately styled to obfuscate: scarves were wrapped to cover the head, crystal headpieces obscured the faces. Sweaters and 1970s suiting featured familiar American icons — a Paramount Pictures logo and baseball insignias. Other pieces were more theatrical. The costume element was strong. One model sprouted sheep horns, another carried a baby dragon. And another, most alarmingly, toted a “human” head.
