Gucci Gloves

Creative Director Alessandro Michele's maximalist approach comes into full force across Gucci's latest collection of gloves. Catching eyes on recent runways as part of a slew of dramatic accessories, they're not even close to feeling like an afterthought. Not that anything is when it comes to Michele's wonderful and whimsical creations, which give a whole new meaning to the expression 'go big, or home'. You only need to look at a certain pair of opera-length, crystal-embellished tulle gloves to get a feel for that theory.

The fashion powerhouse can do understated too, of course. Look out for its exquisite take on the black leather glove, which usually features subtle detailing like padding at the wrist or gold hardware. Finally, keep a close eye on collections for those coveted lace iterations, and the wildcards crafted from glossy vinyl, mesh or animal-print silk twill. The list goes on - as we've come to expect from the mind of Alessandro Michele.
