Initial reaction:

Ahoy sailor! A crisp maritime cruise on the Gucci yacht.

All aboard:

After sending a crew of striped sailors down the catwalk, Frida Giannini took on the role of Captain this season. Ticking all the nautical boxes and yet deftly managing to rise above costume party clichés, the tailoring-led collection featured boating jackets – contrast piping adorning collars and sleeves – gold anchor-stamped buttons and pristine white ankle grazers. Bags were detailed with rope, straps worn sash-like across the chest.
