Gucci F/W 2005 Vintage Emerald Lace Top

This is a beautiful, romantic piece from Gucci F/W 2005 collection, the final collection designed by Alessandra Facchinetti. Facchinetti spent four years as head of womenswear under Tom Ford, and was handed the reins to soften and reinvent the Gucci woman after his exit. Where Ford dealt in explicit sensuality, Facchinetti pushed toward a more ethereal, romantic femininity - this emerald lace top belongs to that quieter, more delicate vision while still referencing Tom Ford's signature forms.
