JEWELS FROM THE RUNWAY: Jewelry Details from the Gucci RTW FW19 Collection

GUCCI: Another highlight from Milan Fashion week were the jewels from the Gucci RTW FW19 collection. Gem encrusted finger rings, cross pendant necklaces and  gold metal ear covers and ear brooches were seen on the models strutting down the catwalk. Turns out that the latter, according to creative director Alessandro Michele, were inspired by the work entitled Fashion Fiction #1 from artist Eduardo Costa seen in American Vogue’s February 1968 issue (shown below).

JEWELS FROM THE RUNWAY: Gucci Cruise 2019

Alessandra Michelle’s vision for the 2019 Cruise collecton for Gucci extended to the inevitability of death. “The inspiration is an ossuary, the crypts of the cardinals, of the monks in the 15th century, and the precious decorations,” -Gucci quoted Michele on Instagram. “This idea is that everything that is linked to the afterlife is accompanied by something of maximum beauty. It’s the idea of death as fascination.”

The show displayed velvet rosary chokers, oversized cross earrings which resembled stain glass windows, tiered embellished shell earrings and large block rings – some spelling out the word ‘Deus’ – which is latin for God. The standout piece in the collection? Brooches and earrings festooned with  scarabs – a symbol of new life and regeneration.
