What’s even weirder is that all of this took place less than 24-hours after Alessandro Michele sent out 68 pairs of twins as part of Gucci’s SS23 offering. Having worked on the concept and casting for months, designers Simone Rizzo and Loris Messina said the show was a comment on how clothing alters our sense of self, fracturing our identity into multiple fragments that can be picked-up and dropped at breakneck speed. The collection harboured as much mischief as the presentation itself – there were neoprene skirt-trouser hybrids; fuzzy halter necks in glitching chequerboard patterns; tunics that ballooned into overblown track pants; plastic dresses in red and yellow emergency arrows; and tubular mini dresses that bobbed up and down the body.
