Gucci Launches Capsule Collection With Coco Capitán

MILAN — Gucci did it again. The house’s creative director Alessandro Michele’s renewed the partnership with young Spanish artist Coco Capitán to launch an apparel and accessories capsule collection, available from the end of July. Gucci’s collaboration with Capitán debuted on the runway during Milan Fashion Week last February. On that occasion the artist’s signature handwritten witty slogans were featured on two Gucci-logoed tank tops while Michele took his final bow sporting a T-shirt displaying Capitán’s aphorism “I want to go back to believing a story.” Gucci’s fall 2017 collection shown in Milan.  Courtesy Photo In addition, the artworks were displayed on a wall of the venue — the new Gucci Hub — and on the show’s invitation. This was a vinyl with recordings by Florence Welch and A$AP Rocky, packaged in an envelope showcasing Capitán’s “What are we going to do with all this future?” message. Gucci and Capitán have now created a unisex capsule collection that includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, knits, coats, tote backpacks and fanny packs. The lineup mainly combines Gucci’s signature green-red-green stripe and gold interlocking GG motif with the artist’s handwritten messages. Some items, such as the embroidered long coats, feature the slogans in the lining. Gucci’s capsule collection with Coco Capitán.  Courtesy Photo Launching in selected
