  1. Lady Gaga's performance as Patrizia Reggiani is already picking up Oscar buzz
  2. For many, owning luxury brand bags or shoes is not uncommon. While the appeal of these brands is inevitable, the price can easily burn a big moon-sized hole in our pockets . Unless you have a well-paying job or are organised with money-saving habits, buying from luxury brands can be challenging. © iStock These brands leave no stone unturned with their launches and coming up with styles with a staggering price tag. Recently, Gucci launched croc-like perforated rubber shoes. The style isn't that appealing, but the price will make your jaw drop. © Gucci © Gucci The newly rolled launch costs $420 for men and $470 for women. If converted to Indian currency, it costs Rs 30,607 and Rs 34,250, respectively. Mind you; this doesn't include the customs and import duties that you would have to pay to get this pair. These crocs are made in black, red and blue colours with rubber soles in the men's category. For women, the style comes in black, white and lilac shade. not GUCCI CROCS make it stop pic.twitter.com/EaEJTXCGLR — Natalie 🦇 (@disco_lem0nade) June 3, 2021This pair of slip on is sold by Indian Retail chain STAR Market for $1.2. problem is, entire locality wears the same slip-on and hence avoid them. — mahesh talkad (@maheshtalkad) June 6, 2021They think their brand is only for the rich.... — kavitha (@kavithaleeminho) June 6, 2021The sliders look similar to crocs, the only difference being the G-motif all over and the heel height of the pair. Moreover, the perforated rubber adds luxury appeal. The monogram appears as a cut-out motif on the sandals for a highly effective and precise detail. © Gucci © Gucci This is not the only time Gucci has received backlash for selling such sky-high products. The brand faced flak for selling an embroidered kurta, inspired by desi aesthetics that cost Rs 2 Lakh. A kurta can be bought at a meagre cost in India, but Gucci's price left people scratching their heads. Before this, Gucci had also launched inverted or upside-down effect eyeglasses. The unconventional style retailed for Rs 56,000 approximately. Would you splurge so much money on this pair? Let us know in the comments below. View the full article

  7. They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Since fashion is subjective, we don't expect everyone to understand every trend. But when companies create bizarre products that are listed for ridiculous prices, we can't help but be shocked. Gucci's Cruise '19 collection features a pair of 'vintage distressed sneakers' that have us shook. The shoes look pre-dirty and worn and we're just not sure who would actually want to own a pair. Take a look at these babies. © Gucci © Gucci The product detail on the website lists that the shoes are inspired by vintage sportswear patterns from the 70s and is treated for an 'all-over distressed effect'. We don't know about distress but these just look plain dirty and worn out. They look a little too vintage, if you ask us. © Gucci If you're already frowning over the bizarre product, wait till we mention the price of these kicks. The Screener GG Sneaker is retailed at 870 USD which converts to Rs 61,938. That's pretty damn expensive for a pair of old worn-out looking shoes. © Gucci As if the Gucci 'racist' sweater controversy hadn't stirred enough trouble for the brand, this shoe is getting trolled by the internet too. Take a look at what some Twitter users had to say about this product. Gucci is really out here selling the sneakers your mom uses for gardening and Sunday cleaning for $800 pic.twitter.com/Eh5wEBQMSc — camille (@cxmillexxxx) October 30, 2018 The poor try to look rich and the rich try to look poor! ð — BROOKLYNBREAD (@Rinseyjones) November 7, 2018 When ur born rich a f but don't wanna be a called a snobby daddy's boy at school = Gucci's New Vintage Sportswear-Inspired Dirty Sneakers Cost $870 USD #gucci #guccifromthehood https://t.co/ektXQtoKIl — Nadia. K (@nadiakhairinas) November 7, 2018 After the Croc Bag, we weren't ready for another bizarre shoe just yet. On the brighter side, you wouldn't have to wash these sneakers.
  8. Fashion giant 'Gucci' just got embroiled in a controversy because of selling a rather 'avant-garde' sweater, which has been accused of being racist. Social media users expressed their displeasure because of Gucci's rather in-your-face 'ignorance' that could be clearly seen on the sweater design. Take a look at the controversial sweater here. © Gucci The Balaclava black wool sweater is conspicuous in its own right and covers the wearer's neck and most parts of the lower face. It has a cut-out on the lips, which has been fashioned with a red border, that resembles oversized lips. The sweater costs almost $900 and is supposed to be inspired by vintage ski-masks. People, however, have been trashing the design accusing it of bearing a close resemblance with 'Blackface'. For the uninitiated, Blackface is a form of theatrical make-up used predominantly by non-black performers to represent a caricature of a black person. © Gucci Unfortunately, for Gucci, the timing couldn't have been worse because it's the 'Black History Month', and a move like that just made sure that they have been dragged under the limelight, and not in a good way. Gucci, however, has apologized and has withdrawn the product, as well as taken it off the shelves in their brick and mortar stores. © Twitter Interestingly, Prada had also faced a similar controversy recently, where their range of figurines called the 'Pradamalia' range was accused of bearing a close resemblance with 'monkey-like' figures with large red lips, that also evoked Blackface imagery.
  9. His 'dhaai kilo ka haath' gave many a screen villains a run for their lives, but when it comes to 'cool' things like fashion or dancing, Mr Sunny Deol, unfortunately, has never been at the forefront. However, it finally does look like things are changing, at least on the fashion front. Mr Deol just stepped out wearing an insane pair of hiking boots that proves this. Take a look! © Viral Bhayani © Viral Bhayani Don't you just love these hiking boots from Gucci? According to Gucci, these sneakers are inspired by the hiking world and designed with an oversize shape sole. For Fall Winter 2018, these sneakers are presented in dark green and black, featuring a dynamic mix of materials--rubber, leather, suede, and technical canvas. A recurring detail of the latest collections, the Gucci logo is displayed in the graphic font of SEGA—a fixture in the colorful arcades and coin-op game rooms of the eighties. © Gucci © Gucci The studded detailing on which the laces are tied gives the pair an endearing retro look, plus the military olive accentuates the combat shoe aesthetic. Not a pair one would ideally wear with an outfit composed of a shirt and jeans, but Sunny paaji sure is carrying it off like a boss. © Gucci When it comes to accessories, we love the brown leather bag that he's carrying. Perfect for an airport look, especially the kind of relaxed aesthetic he's going for. © Viral Bhayani All we can say is that it's good to see that Bobby isn't the only fashionable Deol anymore.
  10. If you thought Ranveer Singh will 'calm down' (read, start wearing vanilla clothes) post his wedding, you couldn't have been more wrong. Deepika only seems to be the wind beneath his flamboyant, multicoloured wings (like a dream partner should ideally be anyway). Long story short, he continues wearing statement pieces that leave us wide-eyed, and he just did it again. Take a look. © Viral Bhayani The hoodie he is wearing is a Gucci Loved hoodie with green tigers guarding the logo from both sides. The word 'Loved' is written underneath that in a font that screams metal, just like the series is supposed to be depicted. © Farfetch Coming to how much it costs, this beige sweatshirt costs 850 Pounds, which when converted to INR costs around Rs 75,391. Yes, 75 grand. That amount can easily sponsor an epic New Year party for 25-30 people (way more if you decide to cook). You know you agree. (One can also get an iPhone with the same amount but a New Year party is more fun). © Viral Bhayani We love his choice of pants. The red, white, and green palette reminds us of Christmas, and the vibrance is giving out all sorts of holiday feels. Plus, those white, red, and blue shoes just adds to it. © Viral Bhayani You do you, Baba, because no one else can.
  11. If you are a fashion enthusiast who follows fashion shows religiously, then you might already know that Gucci's latest show at the Milan Fashion Week was, well, um...WEIRD. The 2018 autumn/winter collection showcased models holding dragons © Twitter And what looked like severed heads of their own. WTF. © Twitter The show took place in an operation theatre setting, with walls painted in a hospital-green color and chairs like the ones you find in the waiting room. © Twitter But you know what, that's all beside the point. While all of this was enough to make headlines and stop the presses it wasn't exactly what one could call controversial. But what came next on the runway was not only a controversy just waiting to happen; it was downright disrespectful to an entire community. Very casually came in some 'white' models wearing turbans over their heads. © Twitter Yes, the same turban that has caused much uproar in countries that are basically not India and have led to innumerable racist attacks. © Twitter So if we understand this correctly, Gucci tried to present that something, which is essentially a symbol of power and strength and is a mark of pride for the Sikh community, can be used as just another fashion accessory? Twitter sure has an opinion on this whole fiasco and we can already predict this isn't going to end well for the brand. 1. Popular opinion so instead of hiring a sikh model they just put a TURBAN on a white boy??? WTF GUCCI pic.twitter.com/yWiCrVFRr2 — nisha (@trilogyalbums) February 21, 2018 2. Well said. how is it that a turban can be a hot new accessory for white @gucci models but when a brown man wears one he's a target for violence? they love to steal & sell our culture, but they don't love us. #culturenotcostume https://t.co/OGjaB9WxDQ pic.twitter.com/D6KtUEO8nU — leo kalyan (@leokalyan) February 22, 2018 3. Listen up Gucci @gucci HMU next time you need someone who really wears a Turban to model for y'all instead of making random people wear a Turban lol pic.twitter.com/3us3LX6oeD — ਮà©à¨¹à¨¤à¨¾à¨¬ ਸਿੰਠ(@MehtabhSingh_) February 22, 2018 4. This is just sad. My grandpa was recently on a walk in his own neighbourhood with his friends and was harassed with racial slurs by teenage white boys who threw water bottles at him bc he wears a turban but when Gucci does it it's called “fashion”...… seriously **** gucci — Aveneet ⬠(@aveneet2001) February 22, 2018 5. They need to understand the significance I hope Gucci keeps this energy the next time a sikh gets discriminated against lmao watch them act like they don't know what a turban is — amanlicious (@RoadKillAman) February 22, 2018 6. Seriously worse than fake products. Dear @gucci, the Sikh Turban is not a hot new accessory for white models but an article of faith for practising Sikhs. Your models have used Turbans as 'hats' whereas practising Sikhs tie them neatly fold-by-fold. Using fake Sikhs/Turbans is worse than selling fake Gucci products pic.twitter.com/gCzKPd9LGd — Harjinder Singh Kukreja (@SinghLions) February 22, 2018 7. Seriously, how is this just fashion? white person wears a turban on a runway: wow! fashion! I love gucci! brown person wears a turban in their daily life: TERRORIST!!!! https://t.co/hObivXm7y8 — san â¡ vixx (@taekwwon) February 22, 2018 8. Plenty of Sikh models out there. Hi @gucci next time please use #Sikh #Turban Models. Much appreciated. #SardaarModels #SmartSardaar #Gucci #GucciTurban ð³ð½âï¸ðð½ pic.twitter.com/Bc2f8kbfxq — Punjab2000.com - P2K (@Punjab2000music) February 23, 2018 9. YASS Dear @gucci, Next time you want to do a fashion show, hit us up! We have a whole army of Singh and Kaur models. You don't need to use a white model and put turban on them like it's a prop. We will come looking sexy as hell with our turbans on. (Reposted from @PammKaurr) pic.twitter.com/JL6lVzmDwr — Gurpy Colors o(:) (@gurpycolors) February 23, 2018 10. We all have questions. The Turban represents a Sikh's pride and is worn with dignity. It is a core staple in a Sikh's identity. It isn't a white mans accessory. My religion isn't your fashion?? White people really try to bank off of everything that isn't theirs. @gucci pic.twitter.com/un8yR2lAV8 — Pavleen (@pavyyy_) February 23, 2018 11. They could have done so much better. I really wish Gucci didn't do the whole turban thing... getting Sikh models could've made the runway iconic — Kim Kardajan (@t_am_an_a) February 23, 2018 12. Offensive doesn't cut it. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME??!! I am so disgusted by this. Offensive isn't even the word. There are multiple reasons why this is so wrong!! The amount of hate and discrimination I have gotten for wearing a turban and being sikh and now it's trendy? #GUCCI @sikh @discrimination pic.twitter.com/uk4SMaKmo4 — Simran kaur (@Sim_Tube) February 22, 2018 Pretty sure after seeing an entire community enraged, an apology is in order and we hope other brands take lesson that using cultural symbol as a costume in never going to be okay and if you do need to use it, the least you can do is use it in the right manner.
  12. A model presents a creation from the Gucci Autumn/Winter 2018 women collection during Milan Fashion Week in Milan, Italy, February 21, 2018. REUTERS/Tony Gentile MILAN: Gucci kicked off Milan Fashion Week in its typical eccentric style Wednesday as models carried replicas of their own heads on a runway transformed into a creepy operating room. Suspense had already been building for the show by Gucci?s star creative director Alessandro Michele due to the invitations ? orange timers which counted down to the event in glowing red numbers. The first shock came when it started on time ? almost unprecedented in fashion history. Then male and female models walked onto a runway amid operating tables under bright neon lights in the Gucci Hub, the brand?s Milan headquarters, over the steady beeping of a heart monitoring machine. Michele introduced the "Cyborg Gucci" in the Fall/Winter 2018-2019 collection, which included a wild mix of cultures and symbols, from a pagoda hat to a balaclava, a classic burgundy velvet dress to a gold lurex jacket, fine lace to the logo of the New York Yankees. The models added to the transgressive vibe ? not only did some carry replicas of their own severed head, but others were adorned with a third eye or even a baby dragon. "What touches me is not just the talent but also the dose of humour and self-deprecation on the part of Alessandro Michele," said actress Chiara Mastroianni. "His collection is so rich it will take time to understand everything," she said. Another first-day highlight was the launch of the exhibition "Italiana: Italy Through the Lens of Fashion 1971-2001" by the National Chamber for Italian Fashion. Donatella Versace, Giorgio Armani, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Silvia Venturini Fendi and Jean-Paul Gaultier were some of the stars attending at the Palazzo Reale. The exhibition was organised by theme ? Identity, Democracy, Logomania, Diorama, Project Room, Bazaar, Post-Production, Glocal and The Italy of Objects ? and included the clothes by fashion houses such as Missoni, Armani, Versace, Krizia, Romeo Gigli and Gianfranco Ferre. "There is no nostalgic intention but rather pride and willingness to celebrate fashion and reproduce its complexity," said curator Maria-Luisa Frisa. "Italian fashion is a creative laboratory that has generated worlds, defined strong individual characteristics... and continues to do so today," she added.
  13. The moment we hear someone say Gucci, we instantly think of the luxurious and swanky bags, shoes, wallets, watches and perfumes. But, imagine someone saying “Oh, I am hungry, let's head to Gucci?” Can you relate to that? Probably not! But, if you are a foodie and travelling to Italy, chances are that you won't be freaked out by this because the luxury brand is now entering into the hospitality industry. Clearly, Gucci has got us covered from 'haute couture' to 'hot cuisine'. © Gucci The 'Cradle of the Renaissance' aka Florence in Italy, is now home to Gucci's maiden restaurant 'Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura'. This restaurant is the brain child of Gucci's Creative Director Alessandro Michele and Michelin-star chef Massimo Bottura. This 50-seater restaurant is located as Gucci Garden in the historic Palazzo della Mercanzia in Florence, which also houses galleries, museum, and a boutique that displays exclusive Gucci products. This all-day museum restaurant is said to be designed by Italian fashion designer and creative director, Michele. © Gucci What's more, this restaurant serves a lavish menu, which includes Italian classics that will take ages for us to pronounce (unless you say it while having food in your mouth). Some of the dishes served here include Parmigiano Reggiano tortellini, buttery cacao e pepe, Peruvian tostadas, and pork belly buns and piña colada for dessert. Each dish is priced around 20 to 30 euros (1550 to 2320 INR approx). The cuisine speaks volumes about Bottura's eccentric take on classic Italian dishes and the quirky taste he brings to the table. © Gucci Bottura reportedly said in a statement, “Travelling the world, out kitchen interacts with everything we see, hear and taste.” He further added, “The restaurant is a reminder that Florence has always been a centre of cultural exchange, particularly during the Renaissance.” Gucci is not the first luxury brand to venture into fine dining business. Before Gucci, brands like Ralph Lauren, Versace, Giorgio Armani and Tiffany & Co. have already ventured into the business of fine dining. © Gucci Well, this restaurant deserves to be on our bucket list. First, because it's Gucci; and second, because of its larger than life cuisine, which is totally Instagram worthy. Folks just FYI, Valentine's Day is exactly a month away. So, while we don't expect you to take your lady love for a date to Gucci Osteria, you can at least tag her in the pictures instead and show how much you care! Source: Condé Nast Traveler
  14. A model presents a creation by Gucci during the Autumn/Winter 2011 women's collection at the Milan Fashion Week February 23, 2011. REUTERS Gucci, part of Paris-based luxury group Kering, has paraded models down the catwalk in luxurious fur coats in the past and creative director Alessandro Michele brought in loafers and sling-backs lined with kangaroo-fur two years ago. But the brand said it would now join an alliance of fur-free companies, adding it would sell off remaining accessories and clothing made with animal fur in a charity auction. Gucci has sold some of its mink fur coats for over $40,000. Marco Bizzarri, Gucci?s chief executive, said the brand would drop fur starting from its spring and summer 2018 collection and that its new approach had been agreed on with Michele. Gucci has enjoyed a revival under Michele, whose flamboyant, colorful designs have fueled sales over the past two years. Animal rights campaigners said they hoped the move by the Italian fashion house could have a knock-on effect, although it is far from the first label to stop using fur. ?Gucci?s decision will radically change the future of fashion,? Simone Pavesi, manager of animal-free fashion at Italian campaign group LAV. ?As fashion becomes more and more ethical, supply chains that revolve around animals will be a thing of the past.? In June, Yoox Net-A-Porter, a multi-brand online luxury retailer, adopted a fur-free policy on accessories and clothing sold on the site. Italy?s Giorgio Armani last year committed to stop using fur, saying technological progress meant there was no longer any justification for cruelty to animals, while U.S. brand Calvin Klein took the plunge in 1994. Anti-fur protesters have been known to demonstrate outside catwalk shows at fashion weeks around the world to call for an end to practices many see as cruel to animals, and luxury goods buyers - especially younger generations - have become more sensitive to environmental issues, too. Many labels and other luxury groups such as LVMH - owner of Louis Vuitton - are tightening their policies on how leather is sourced from tanneries and how they obtain furs, after a series of scandals over how animals are treated in breeding farms. France?s Hermes was caught in a storm two years ago when a crocodile farm used to supply leather for one of its best-selling handbags was accused of cruel slaughter practices.
  15. It's yesterday once more at Gucci. ? AFP MILAN: Gucci's Alessandro Michele unveiled on Wednesday a loud and proud ode to the 1980s on the opening day of the latest Milan Fashion Week, with big bangs, square suits and enough sequins to drown a disco. Michele burrowed further into his love for the bookish chic that has led the once-flagging house to white-hot success since he took creative control in 2015. In a smoky near-darkness pierced by flashes of light, Gucci showed off a Spring/Summer 2018 collection that included plenty of large round glasses, satin, and even a striped and shiny track suit. The idea guiding the show, according to Michele's notes, is a refusal "to turn the page and stubbornly dwelling on a narration that consolidates on the beauty of the show". That meant a runway, best described as Atlantis on a foggy night, set among massive sculptures of some of humanity's greatest symbols including a smiling Buddha and Thoth, the long-beeked god known as Egypt's wisest. The clothes were confident in their embrace of the past, including a satin suit trimmed in sequin stars that looked like something out of David Bowie's wardrobe. There was also a brown three-piece suit that you could almost imagine in a faded Kodachrome photo -- except that the model wearing it had hands encrusted in rings and slick white shades. "It requires courage to slowly linger; to stay with care," Michele's notes said. He certainly did that and took a bow to the applause of celebrities like Salma Hayek -- whose husband Francois-Henri Pinault heads the French group Kering that owns Gucci. The show was Gucci's first since Kering announced a pledge earlier this month to ban ultra-thin models from its brands' advertising and runways. From appearances, it seemed to have kept its word. The power of zips Milan kicked off with shows from smaller up-and-comers, including Japanese designer Atsushi Nakashima, who unveiled bright colours, space-agey silver ponchos and clothing bisected with lots of shiny zips. For Nakashima the zips are a reminder of humanity's better impulses in an uncertain time that has seen North Korea fire missiles directly over his homeland. "This is the reason for the collection... putting together, understanding each other to have more communication," he told reporters through a translator. "We can connect with each other." There is still plenty more to come over the next five days left of Milan's runway strutting. Expectations are building for British talent Paul Surridge, who will on Friday show off his maiden collection since being named creative director in May of Roberto Cavalli, known for its sexy rock'n'roll attitude. Husband-and-wife team Luke and Lucie Meier are presenting their first designs on Saturday since being tapped in April as creative leads of minimalist stalwart Jil Sander. The Meiers, a rare married duo of co-directors, come from Dior for her and Paris-based menswear brand OAMC via iconic streetwear label Supreme for him. Very good times, for some "Lucie and I work together very naturally," Canadian Luke Meier told Vogue in June of his Swiss-born wife. "We have had an open dialogue about the approach to design for over 15 years and have often spoken of working together one day." Newcomers to the Milan calendar also include the-sirius, a young Seoul-based label known for futuristic designs, which will indulge its ultramodern urge with a show Thursday on the campus of Milan's Leonardo da Vinci Museum of Science and Technology. But it would not be fashion week in Italy's capital of clothes and accessories without the kings and queens of the multi-billion euro luxury goods industry like Fendi, Ferragamo, Versace, Moschino and Prada. These European behemoths -- or some of them, anyway -- are seeing sales jump after years troubled by the triple whammy of a slowdown in Asia, currency volatility and customers staying at home after a string of terror attacks in Europe. "While in the past good meant good for everyone... now the situation is very good for some and very bad for others," said Stefania Saviolo, a fashion and luxury expert at Milan's Bocconi University. "It depends on the category, the brand, it depends on many things," she told AFP. The rebound has been led by houses like Gucci which saw its sales in the first quarter of 2017 grow at their fastest pace in 20 years. But the flip side is labels like Prada that just cannot seem to remember where they put the secret sauce. Prada has put some of the blame for soft sales on tourists being driven away by a strong euro.
