"GUCCI" Michele period linear silhouette wool chester coat

We are pleased to present to you some precious archive pieces from GUCCI, whose concept is "creating products that reflect the best of the past in the present, with the finest traditions and the finest quality."

This masterpiece neatly depicts the beautiful straight lines of Gucci, created during the Michele era, in quiet black.

This piece embodies the spirit of the times, which speaks of Gucci's unique style through the persuasive silhouette and tailoring, without putting the logo forward, and can be said to stand tall between classic and modern.

The first thing that catches your eye is the long, straight lines that fall vertically. The shoulders are not overly exaggerated, but rather have just the right thickness to accentuate the straight lines, and the sleeves taper smoothly to the wrist, creating a beautiful movement for the arms. The collar has a slightly slim notch lapel, and by not placing the gorge too high, there is space at the chest, creating a neat impression around the face.

The coat has three buttons on the front. With the first button fastened, it has a classic look, while with only the second button fastened, the drape that flows from under the chest to the hem stands out, allowing you to change the look of the same coat.

The chest features a neat welt pocket, while the waist features two horizontal welt pockets, ensuring a line that doesn't interfere with functionality. The hem flows smoothly to the ground without creating unnecessary steps, and the vertical seams on the body carefully accommodate the curve of the back, allowing it to sway with every step.

The back features a single center seam that outlines the spine, creating a serene appearance from behind. The buttons on the cuffs are neatly arranged to prevent sagging at the edges and create a sharp outline.

The material is fine, even-grained wool. The surface is slightly brushed, softly absorbing the light, and the depth of the black changes richly depending on the brightness, indoors or outdoors. Its thickness is reliable, and it has a beautiful drape, so it maintains the vertical lines of the coat as you walk.

The added value of this coat lies in the "repositioning of romance and tailoring" that is unique to the Michele era. While referencing the long and lean style of the 1970s, it is interpreted as a gender-neutral linear aesthetic, with a design philosophy that emphasizes elegance through proportion and stitching rather than decoration. By subduing the visual statement, fundamental design elements such as the density of the material, the placement of the darts, and the balance of button placement come to the forefront, giving it a universal quality that acts as the "pin" of your wardrobe, transcending seasons and trends. It does not rely on tags, but rather enhances the wearer's posture itself - this is the strength of Michele-era Gucci, and the value of this piece.

In terms of styling, a simple knit and center-pleated trousers make the most of the beauty of the straight lines, while loafers keep the centre of gravity low. Another good look is a genderless balance where a band collar shirt is layered with a long skirt or wide pants, and the swaying hem echoes the drape of the coat.

Please take this opportunity.
