Italian luxury brand Gucci has presented their 2018 Menswear Cruise Collection. Fitting for Italy's rich culture and history when it comes to mythical figures and dynamic stories, the line has a whimsical, regal feel to it. Shot by British photographer Elaine Constantine at Villa Adriana in Tivoli, Italy, the models don golden laurels and princely attire as easily as a Roman prince might have. Though it’s hard to _not_ act like royalty in clothes like that. Gucci is pulling out all their tricks with this collection, with gorgeous embroidery and embellishments.
The pieces shimmer like blueish-green waves on the Mediterranean Sea, like the irises of Achilles’ eyes before charging into war, like the gold of Apollo’s chariot as he pulls the sun across a glowing sky. Floral patterns reminiscent of pastoral paintings and glittering pullovers that split light into rainbows offer up an aesthetic that is fitting of its environment--where nothing (not even divine beings or invincible heroes) seemed impossible.
