Alessandro Michele, the creative director, has once again demonstrated that his visions and ingenuity have no limitations. Michele, in particular, expands on Gucci’s unique look and prepares for the ideal balance of sports and luxury.
Gucci’s most recent collaboration is with Major League Baseball, which will be released on April 22. Gucci’s Vault, the brand’s experimental online concept shop that started last year, will be the only retailer of the collection.
The luxury company teases followers with recent Instagram pictures leading up to the debut. Gucci’s models are photographed and dressed up in the brand’s hallmarks while ‘dropping’ the garments, in addition to showcasing some chosen pieces from the certainly desired collection.
The collection will include men’s and women’s ready-to-wear and accessories, and will be inspired by Michele’s New York Yankees baseball cap. There will be tailored and sportswear-inspired outfits as well.
