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.
