GUCCI HANDBAGS ASCENDING

/

Milan Street/IMAXtree

The house of Gucci has been undergoing turbulent changes ever since Alessandro Michele took over as design director a little more than a year ago. He has shaken things up, but the risk-taking paid off. Not only have Gucci ready-to-wear fashions transitioned from the runway onto the street, the handbags have benefitted from the design overhaul whirlwind as well. Gucci handbags were by far the new “It” bags this season in London, New York and Milan.
