Gucci Fall 2010 Bags

00060m.jpg

Simply put, these are some gorgeous bags. First off, the big news for fall at Gucci is not only the return to a cleaner, tchotchke-free palette, but the introduction of a new logo that was discreetly applied to the runway bags. The revamped Gucci logo is in the form of two gold, curvilinear interlocking Gs, originally designed in 1973. They were mated to long, sleek clutches and supple carryalls that are sure to be big hits for Gucci come fall.

The clothes weren’t the only element fusing 70s style with 90s modernism; Frida Giannini proved that accessories need not be adorned to the nth degree in order to be coveted. Indeed, she struck an ideal balance with hardware and smooth surfaces in such a way that not one buckle, rivet or chain overburdened any one bag’s overall shape. The simple black clutch shown on the runway was simply divine, to boot (before you say it, I’ll admit it reminded me a bit of a VBH clutch). I also enjoyed the miniature bags with long gold chain straps; it’s nice to see a house so famous for its accessories not overshadow its equally successful ready-to-wear offerings.
