excerpt: Gucci. Fall 2026 - Milan Fashion week

 "...And Demna, who is no stranger to controversy, even with his subtle and not so subtle attempts at causing a stir while he was with Balenciaga, has recopied the Uffizi Gallery famous statues (greatly admired by Mussolini and Hitler, when he visited the Gallery in 1938), as a overshadowing backdrop, while the runways models walked in their modernist strides, with Demna's defined, yet rigid inspired looks, one does not correlate too much.  But, hey, the imagination can work itself into many possibilities, and this collection is very dynamic shift away from Demna's postmodernism past, let's face it.

The latest collection from Demna is certainly rigid, even militaristically tuned within its sleekness and intensity.  It's not a striking array, but a steadfast imprint via Demna, as he reasserts his fixture as the new designer of Gucci, decimating all of Alessandro Michele quirky and ethereal flows, and replacing it with his direct, strength through superior 'futurism' tailoring, stern overtures.

Proto-fascist styling anyone?"
