Launching on NET-A-PORTER on May 12 2016, the 20-piece Gucci capsule collection comprises ready to wear, shoes and accessories featuring the eclectic designs for which the brand is renowned and celebrated.
The exclusive rose print, inspired by a 19th century tapestry, is the central motif, seen in double silk georgette across a three-quarter sleeve scarf blouse with pearl GG buttons, a pleated skirt with nude lining, a reversible cashmere and merino wool cardigan and across accessories, including the Dionysus shoulder bag, flat mules, a high heel pump and the Ace sneaker.
The Heron print is re-imagined for NET-A-PORTER in striking red and emblazoned onto a neoprene sweatshirt with lurex web stripe details. A heart-motif skirt suit in gauffré is finished with a leather pearl collar and contrasting necktie whilst floral patterns are seen embroidered on bleach washed denim, a sleeveless silk organdy dress with patches and ribbon detail and a woolen pleated skirt.
Each piece in this exciting capsule collection speaks to the signature individuality and authenticity of the new Gucci woman.

Working on the exclusive project has been a thrill and we’re incredibly excited to be launching this global first on NET-A-PORTER.
