Gucci, the Italian luxury fashion label, has announced a new collaboration with singer-songwriter Harry Styles. The two worked together to build on the bond that already existed between Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele and Styles. Michele explained in a release that the ‘Gucci HA HA HA’ collection is a “recasting of the image of the gentleman in an upside-down memory of men’s couture.” The duo said that the collection is the “starting point of a creative journey. ” The ‘Gucci HA HA HA’ collection consists of a mix of aesthetics, ranging from the pop and bohemia of the 1970s to the “recasting of the image of the
The brand, which seeks to simplify the difficulties of fashion collections, consists of a variety of coats, jackets, shirts, pants, and accessories that aim to build on a new vision of “male elegance.” The line also seeks to simplify the process of putting together fashion collections. Michele said that Harry possessed an outstanding sense of style. “I realized that the design of a look produces difference and power by watching his reactions to the pieces that I created for him and that he has always made his own, as well as by observing his ability to combine clothes in such an original way with respect to the imposed standards of taste and common sense and the homogenization of appearance. “”By observing his ability to combine clothes in such an original way with respect to the imposed standards of taste and common sense and the homogenization of appearance. Every one of these responses is a little taste of independence.
Michele added that the idea to work together on the collection originated from a phone call between the two of them. During the conversation, he proposed the concept of creating an “ideal wardrobe” that could begin by combining small curiosities with childish visions. This sparked the idea for the duo to work together on the collection.
The majority of the pieces pay attention to the historical significance of their silhouettes by incorporating unique prints, English tailoring, and artisanal methods into their designs in order to further redefine masculinity.
The end result is a collection of reimagined classics, including a treated denim jacket, a velvet suit, printed pyjamas, bowling shirts, hooded coats, and pleated kilts. Each of these pieces makes a reference to the histories of both Styles and Michele, who have known one another since the beginning of their respective solo careers.
The term “Gucci HA HA HA,” which is a play on Harry and Alessandro’s initials, can be found as a theme in the collection’s prints and on the labels of the various articles of apparel. This motif can be found all over the collection.
