'Beaten & Blown by The Wind'
With a seemingly neverending stream of creativity from the Italian designer, Alessandro Michele and Gucci recently unveiled their latest vision in the form of a new limited edition art book which is available for purchase now.
Dubbed ‘Beaten & Blown by The Wind’, the book sees Michele collaborate with American photographer Bruce Gilden to present a series of street style portraits and images of the Pre-Fall 2020 Collection designed by Alessandro Michele. Speaking on the release, the designer commented;
“Bruce is a beautiful person with a poetic gaze on humanity, We share the same passion for faces and an obsession with expressions, personalities and looks. I am a great collector of portraits because the human figure is central to me. Working with a photographer means seeing through someone else’s eyes and it was wonderful to see through Bruce’s eyes. I felt like I was looking at things under a microscope in a science laboratory.”
