Gucci Fall/Winter '09 Now In Store!!

Oh man, there's loads of people queueing outside Selfridges last week when the store hit their first day Summer Sale. Queueing for what? For the Gucci concession outlet in Selfridges to be exact. Coz the bags and accessories and stuffs being slash up to I-dunno-how-much from their original price. More than 50% I reckon! Damn...

Well, summer sale might just kick start last week. While most of us (like me esp) scouring for bargains, some designers has already stock new items for Fall/Winter. Hmm.. that early?! Yes, indeed. Like Gucci. I am a Gucci fan through and through. Not like Louis Vuitton, Gucci is more of an affordable luxury to me. And under Frida Giannini patronage, the collection getting much more exciting season by season. More provocative for any alpha male.

And talking about new collection, boy am I loving these bags. This time around Gucci has turned sombre. With urban grey, gunmetal and black, and some beige and tan in store. Canvas Guccissima is still seen in its traditional color (beige/gold). But my own shortlisted stuff are these lots: Small tote in gunmetal crystal GG lamé fabric with black web and black leather trim, the black leather holdalls and the medium tote in black GG coated fabric with black leather trim. To finish off the provocative-meet-rock-n-roll look, the tote and holdalls were studded and given a black braided chain bling bling. Very cool. Better yet, it is seen straight off the previous FW09 show.

Hmm.. next thing I will do: starts saving. Coz they don't come cheap! :D
