-SPECIAL- “GUCCI“ 2017-18 Fall winter lace bow blouse

Since its founding in 1921, Gucci, one of Italy's leading luxury houses, has built its own aesthetic by layering craftsmanship with era-appropriate embellishments, and we are pleased to introduce an exquisite piece that embodies the Alessandro Michele era.

This piece features delicate floral lace across the entire body; the sheer black texture is complemented by a large bow and pleated stand collar, along with a sculpted power shoulder, creating a look that simultaneously conveys classical sweetness and a bold, fashion-forward strength.

This item bears a 2017 imprint and 'OW' on its care tag, indicating it dates to the Fall/Winter season around 2017–2018; the brand label, with a black Gucci logo on white, secured by red hand-stitching, also shows a high degree of coherence with the Alessandro Michele era's design language.

The body is lavishly covered with floral lace; it is not merely sheer, but the interplay between pattern density and negative space yields a deep, multi-dimensional black, subtly changing its appearance depending on how the skin and underlayers are seen, which is truly beautiful.

The oversized bow at the chest is crafted from a glossy grosgrain-like fabric, and the fine pleats draw toward the center, serving both as ornamentation and as a vertical visual anchor that tightens the line of sight.

The neckline is a stand collar with layered pleats, imparting a refined tension around the face; in contrast to the lace's soft texture, this combination seamlessly balances Victorian elegance with contemporary fashion sensibility, which is a major charm unique to this blouse.

The shoulder area is designed with rounded, voluminous form that evokes 1980s power shoulders, yet, in Gucci's Alessandro Michele era, it is romantically reinterpreted, elevating it beyond mere retro styling to a structured silhouette that makes the wearer's outline striking.

Moreover, the cuffs feature a glossy paneling that adds a satin-like luster to the lace's delicacy, ensuring that although the overall look remains in black, it does not appear flat; the variation in materials produces subtle shadows and depth.

The included camisole as an inner layer is a crucial element for translating a sheer lace blouse into everyday wear; though it is a highly ornate top, it also provides a sense of security and practicality in wear, which reflects the high level of refinement typical of a luxury maison.

This piece's added value lies in clearly embodying the maximalism cultivated by Gucci during the Michele era through multiple elements—lace, ribbons, pleated collar, and power shoulders. Michele's method of bringing past ornamental beauty into modern wardrobes is strongly evident, and as a chronicle of fashion history, it represents an archive-worthy piece that symbolizes Gucci in the late 2010s.

Rather than someone seeking a sweet blouse, this is especially recommended for those who want to intellectually enjoy the decoration itself and add a deeper mood to daily outfits; even simply peeking the neckline and ribbon from beneath a jacket or coat can naturally convey Gucci's signature splendor and bold individuality.

For styling, pair with fluid slacks or a refined long skirt to gracefully temper the lace's sweetness and create a modern, elegant silhouette that is gender-fluid. Additionally, worn as an inner piece beneath a minimalist tailored jacket, the bow at the neckline and the stand collar take center stage, artfully infusing Gucci's distinctive ornamentation into a quiet black look.

We invite you to seize this opportunity.
