It’s time to roll out the red carpet for new ideas and innovations, as Gucci is gearing up for its upcoming Spring/Summer 2023 runway show. The label is all set to excite its fans with its latest designs and enthralling ideas that will be unveiled on May 26. The fashion label will be organizing its much-awaited 2023 runway in the Apulia region of southeast Italy.
Alongside Gucci, other luxury fashion labels are also rolling their sleeves for their forthcoming SS23 runway event. First on the list is Chanel, which will unveil its next collection in Monaco on May 5, followed by another French fashion house, Louis Vuitton, that will hit Southern California on May 12. Christian Dior will be exhibiting its next lineup in Los Angeles on May 19, whereas Balenciaga will flaunt its new collection in New York City on May 21.
Gucci’s next runway show set to glorify historical location of Castel del Monte
Label’s creative director Alessandro Michele plumped for the historical location to showcase his fresh ideas and modish designs. The show, which will be held at Castel del Monte, reflects Alessandro’s desire to glorify the rich heritage of the label’s homeland.
For those who don’t know, Castel del Monte is a 13th-century citadel, which was erected by King Frederick II. This historical artwork was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site back in 1996. The ancient building features an exquisite blend of Northern European heritage and Islamic culture, as well as of timeless antiquity influences.
As a melange of diverse civilizations, the citadel perfectly aligns with Alessandro’s burgeoning vision of world culture.
Apart from showcasing its next collection, the fashion house has also decided to support the restoration and enhancement projects of the ancient landmark.
All Gucci fans will have to stick around for further updates as well as for the next runway show that will be hitting Apulia next month.
What else is happening with Gucci?
In addition to its SS23 show, the fashion house is hard at work for its future launches. On Thursday, April 14, the brand released a teaser of its upcoming partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB).
The collab’s latest apparel lineup features streetwear-style varsity jackets, soft baggy plush hooded jackets embraced with brand logos, fuzzy baseball caps, and python-printed baseball caps. The pieces are adorned with the logos of various Major League Baseball teams, including the Los Angeles Angels, New York Yankees, and San Francisco Giants.
The limited edition capsule will witness its global release on Friday, April 22. The fashion label will launch these pieces in its online experimental concert space dubbed as “Vault.”
