There’s always something to be learned when Frida Giannini shares her passion for music and the ’70s. For the fall 2012 collection, Giannini took her cues from the swinging decade, casting the season’s Gucci guy as an irreverent teenager who lives in the moment. Oversized coats and chunky cardigans are paired with floral and jacquard prints reminiscent of a shadowy dandy like, say, Mick Jagger. The kind of man who steps out onto the street with a cigarette in his mouth, taking notes on a jotter pad whenever a melancholic thought strikes him. —Laura Randaccio
