Within every collection this season, it's hard to say which designer is my personal favorite. Although many of the designers have personal pieces that I would love to add to my wardrobe this spring/summer, Gucci has continuously wowed me these past few seasons. In the Gucci SS 16 campaign, there was so much inspiration from the language and aesthetic of German 80s pop culture, along with a great amount of youth, which I loved the most. Although Gucci has yet to admit, there have been speculations that a great deal of inspiration came from “Christiane F”, a cult film about a 14-year-old girl and her drug and prostitution abuse. After reading the Huffington Post UK and other online media I can absolutely see the resembling’s and to me, if so, that would be the beauty of this campaign. Only such A creative and inspired mind can turn something so ugly into something so beautiful, full of color and life. Please don’t misquote my wording, but the tragedy of a 14-year-old girl and her drug abuse story was relived in such A way that you're able to understand why things occurred and why she was blinded by the lifestyle. It was a living in the moment, youthful, romantic love affair feeling being delivered. Although our life’s may have not been to Christiane F’s extreme these are some qualities of our youthful days we can relate to.
