“Détournement is the opposite of quotation” (G. Debord) was the starting point of Gucci menswear S/S 2016 collection. ‘Détournement’ meaning re-contextualization of classics in a futuristic and urban arena. Designer Alessandro Michele re-defined androgyny for a new generation where masculine forms met graceful, almost, ladylike patterns. Power suits in powdery pastels splattered with floral embroidery, statement separates in deep jewel tones with delicate details and length-elongating silhouettes in slim, streamlined shapes were just some of the key aspects of the collection. Here’s a look at one of the most trend-setting and directional shows from this season’s menswear shows.
