A girl is the picture of modernity when she's wearing neutrals in white, black, gray and brown with smattering of brights in angled and swirled geometric patterns of orange, royal blue, and hot pink fucshia. Such was the collection Frida Giannini showed for Gucci Spring 2010 RTW in Milan.
Makeup artist Pat McGrath was the creative artist behind this look of beauty, "It's much lighter for Gucci. Lightness in makeup is a trend for spring." She used a light brown powder on the eyes and a narrow brown liquid liner to define the lash line. Brown mascara was added to the lashes and a nude pink cream Cover Girl blush swept on the cheekbones.
Luigi Murenu achieved pin-straight hair, with a flat iron and comb, and tied into low ponytails with a deep side part. "It's very precise and a little bit futuristic," said Murenu. He smoothed John Frieda Frizz Ease serum on to the top and sides of the hairstyle and then spritzed John Frieda on the tail.
Details of the collection? Well, how about a smidge of S & M, futuristic athletic wear, a touch of chic femininity and laced up goddess. Remaked one reviewer, "There's a lot of stuff going on." Cutouts, lace-ups, harnesses, gadgets, mesh inserts -yes, all part of the show, yet wielded in such a way as to blend in a cohesive collection depicting a daring, modern woman (yet with girlish ponytail in tow). Of course, no Gucci collection would be complete without signature wide-rimmed shades.
