Drum roll please…. in less than 2 weeks Gucci’s
first home ware line - Gucci Décor, will be landing in the shops. I don’t
understand why there hasn’t been a fanfair for this unveiling, for any fashion
and interiors aficionados like myself will be absolutely smitten. I’ve been
privy to the new collection and it is utterly joyful, bursting with the
contemporary spirit of Alessandro Michel, the label's creative director.
Alessandro Michele has made his love of
interiors abundantly clear during his tenure at Gucci and so this homeware
collection is no suprise. I noticed a sneak peak of this collection at his Resort 2017 show held inside the
Cloisters at Westminster Abbey in London (the first time any fashion house has
been granted access to do so). I found it incredible that the images that flooded the fashion industry’s
Instagram feeds from this historic show were the hand-embroidered cushions
placed on each seat!
There are also scented candles,
metal trays, and small porcelain pieces by Richard Ginori, a Florentine
porcelain-maker established in 1735. With more than 30 eclectic pieces, the
prices range from $190 (for candles and incense trays) to $30,000 for
beautifully printed silk screens.
Here are my favourite porcelains:
The collection will not have a dedicated
space in stores, instead being integrated with
clothes and accessories, "the idea is not to prescribe a particular
decorative look, but to provide elements that allow for living spaces to be
customised," the house said.
I like this playful but also modest approach
of styling out your interior with a couple of awesome pieces, which is all
you’d need to show off Michele’s current romanticism style that I absolutely love.
My shopping list includes these pieces:
I read your blog on daily basis. This is really great and informative post. Thanks for sharing.
