Gucci Spring/Summer 2012 look 1 by Michalis Christodoulou

Please welcome new FocusOnStyle Contributor Michalis Christodoulou and his discerning eye that captures the nuances of the runway through fashion illustration. -S.H. Gucci and Emilio Pucci were among my favourite Spring/Summer 2012 collections from Milan Fashion Week. My three illustrated looks are the ones I loved the most from the Gucci catwalk show.

A reflection on the dialogue between fashion, current trends and contemporary artistic talent.

In their words... Innocence is put out of context in the Marni collection for S/S 12, creating a tension between instinct and control. The execution is graphic, the tone twisted. Pure, architectural shapes - top and skirt combinations, compact little jackets, pinafores - are contradicted by the unexpectedness of lengths, proportions and textures, suggesting a slightly-off take on demure and ladylike.
