coutorture — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:24:05 -0800

At the hands of Belgian fashion designer Dries Van Noten, mixed prints and layers of contrasting fabrics somehow make sense when paired with graphic jeweled cuffs and oversized neckpieces. Diane von Furstenberg took a more bohemian approach to the tribal trend for spring-with armfuls of bangles and printed maxi-dresses-while Frida Giannini and Nicolas Ghesquière fell hard for the urban warrior.

The Gucci Cruise 2010 collection shows off what Gucci does best--turn life into a James Bond film. That sporty seriousness is reflected in the scuba-like suiting, no-fuss minidresses and ultra-sexy evening wear. Although some compare Gucci creative director Frida Giannini's designs to Zara and Bebe, we think this offering takes a more sophisticated turn.

Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection To Benefit UNICEF

When you purchase an item from the Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection, 25% of the sale will go directly to the UNICEF program that supports orphans and children living with HIV and AIDS in Africa. We're happy to see that so many companies are giving generously this season, despite losses due to the weak economy. Singer Rihanna was chosen as the spokeswoman for the campaign as her energetic personality, youthful attitude, and personal style embody the right spirit for this collection. Last night, in New York, an event was held to celebrate the launch of the collection. To see a photo gallery of the event, click here.
