Gucci's spring 2024 menswear collection is here! See every look:
Created by Aldo Gucci in 1953, the Gucci Horsebit Loafer is 70 years old, but it still seems to be in pretty good shape. To celebrate the milestone anniversary, the house threw a festive, cool bash on the first day of Milan’s Men’s Fashion Week.
Staged at art venue Spazio Maiocchi, the homage was engineered as a multi-disciplinary immersive experience, with a corollary of installations, live performances, exhibitions and videos curated by Alessio Ascari, Spazio Maiocchi’s creative director.
Arranged as an art installation alongside the pieces commissioned for the exhibition, looks from Gucci’s spring collection were displayed on mannequins in a room entirely wallpapered by Australian image-maker Ed Davis, whose collage motifs were also reprised on an oversized bowling-set/skater silk ensemble.
A balancing act between past and future was apparent. On one hand, sartorial three-piece suits were simplified to sharp-cut, trim versions, only slightly refreshed by the elongated shapes of blazers, the shortening of sleeves and cuffs, and the revival of ’70s bootcut trousers.
The artworks displayed across the site celebrated the Horsebit’s metamorphosis. Among the most visually compelling was Swiss artist Sylvie Fleury’s 1998 furry bedroom, surmounted by a hanging square-heeled Horsebit loafer in red patent leather from Tom Ford’s Gucci fall 1995 show. An imposing surrealist bean-shaped wooden desk by American sculptor Pitter Patter was held up by replicas of stylish knee-length legs clad in Gucci bootcut-trousers and Horsebit loafers in various styles.
