Gucci from catwalk to high street


Gucci is synonymous with glamour and what better decade

for the Italian label to hop in to bed with than the 1970s.

The designer, Frida Giannini, cited fashion photographers

of the era such as Guy Bourdin plus the exoticism of

Marrakech as her inspirations. Alternatively, think Bianca

Jagger at Studio 54 and you'll have it nailed.

A key player in this look is the jumpsuit. The all-in-one has

many guises but none is more louche and downright sexy

than the satin version. This one from Marks & Spencer is

perfect with its tapered leg, cutaway halter neck and

jewel tone, colour blocking.

Slick hair, strong make-up with a high-impact ruby lip and

plenty of gold accessories will complete the glamazon

feel. Plus these Topshop sandals are deliciously similar to

Gucci's. Who needs buckets of cash when you have high-

street know-how?
