Behind the design

The Met preserves this Alessandro Michele design for Gucci as Look 48 from fall/winter 2017–18. A pale green cape-like outer layer, contrasting shoulder area and prominent floral forms build an elaborate silhouette. Silk, lurex, metal, resin and glass across seven catalogued components show how textiles and ornament work together in the complete look.
