Gucci Has a Rave in a Cemetery-2
The omnivorous
imagination of Alessandro Michele continues its march over the
countryside, redesigning
the hills and furrows of the
modern wardrobe in the
brand's current magpie
image. Its latest target: the
Alyscamps in Arles, the
onetime Roman necropolis-
turned-Christian-cemetery-
turned-UNESCO World
Heritage site. On Wednesday it became the
site of the Gucci 2019
cruise show, which is itself
the second stage of a
series of Gucci-in-France
events (following the February ad campaign and
preceding a September
ready-to-wear show in
Paris.) "Alyscamps is a Roman
cemetery, but it's also not
a cemetery, it was a
promenade, it became a
walk in 1700s; it is
hybridized, it does not look like a cemetery because it
is and it isn't. I like things
that seem like something
but are not," Mr. Michele
said on Twitter to stoke
preshow anticipation (though the rabid fan base
of the front row guest Kai,
the actor and K-pop
superstar, seemed to be
doing that just fine).New York Times
