DescriptionMan's blue silk formal suit with evening jacket with black wide lapels and matching pants with meandering woven red, pink, and green stemmed roses, black velvet bow choker, blue silk and beaded evening slippers

Label Text:This rose-embroidered suit embraces flamboyant male style, and promotes Alessandro Michele’s gender-fluid vision of beauty for Gucci. Michele, credited with initiating fashion’s shift toward maximalism, has been referred to as the movement’s “spiritual leader.” His magpie aesthetic mixes patterns, time periods, and other references in irreverent ways. “Beauty doesn’t have limits, it doesn’t have rules,” Michele remarked.
