The’60s have struck again! On Frida Giannini’s runway at Gucci that meant ultra-covetable and sellable looks. Magazines also know a thing or two about what sells, so it’s no wonder that Gianni’s collection last season landed her a total of 108 cover placements for 2013. That’s the most for any brand last year. And from the looks of this collection the brand may have a repeat success for 2014.

Gucci can’t seem to get away from those horses with Jessica Springsteen joining their team of equestrian ambassadors. Wondering is she’s the daughter of Bruce? Correct! Is this real? You’d also be correct. The Italian brand made no mention of her famous last name in their press release…The collection marks the fourth year of equestrian activity after a 20-year hiatus.

During the day, Frida Giannini and Patrizio di Marco steer the Italian company on the right course, but at night they are busy raising their daughter, Greta.

Gucci, The Film Foundation and Warner Bros. have restored the classic film Rebel Without A Cause. The new 4K digital restoration will have its world premiere in Los Angeles on November 1st. “I’m grateful to Frida Giannini and Gucci for sharing our passion for cinema and our commitment to preservation,” said Martin Scorsese, Chair of The Film Foundation.

Guests at Gucci’s staple Milanese show location at the Piazza Oberdan mingled with flutes of prosecco in hand before entering the sleek venue. Nothing like a sip of bubbly to prepare oneself for the brand’s blend of moody sex appeal and flash! But this season, Frida Giannini added a decidedly sportif dose to the mix. Glittery purple and magenta patterned caftans and kimono-like tops flowed down the runway. Black mesh details got revealed throughout the collection, in the form of racer back tops, sleeves, teeny tiny triangle bikini tops, and baggy drawstring pants. Models with that “wet hair” look that’s having such a moment (still!) strode down the runway looking as if they had just stepped out of the pool and thrown on their flashiest cover-up to head straight to the disco.

Leave it up to the Gucci glamour girl Frida Giannini to recreate the Seventies in the sleekest way possible. Teaming up with director Ron Howard, the creative director will be designing costumes for the film RUSH. Giannini went deep into the Gucci archives (lucky gal!) to pull inspiration for the costumes worn by Chris Hemsworth and Olivia Wilde, who are the lead actors in this flick about Formula 1.
