She is also Mother Nature in motion, and we bow to her in all her fine elements, her sheer force of will, strength and unconditional love. </span>&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #222222;">She is also the modern feminine, and she speaks. Quiteeccentrically so. </span> <span style="color: #222222;">Trompe l&rsquo;oeil, faux fur merges the old with the new. The beloved trench coat takes on faux fur and leather, photographic fox print wool, and geometric intarsia. Freedom sings through with fluttering cape-sleeve dresses, both color blocked and in animal print, and they find their rhythm, fluttering wild and free in the wind. Flag intarsias flow on silk, satin and tulle skirts with geometric panels and prints. The cape seems sways in check cashmere, and the limelight is stolen by a dazzling sun. A pulse of feminine energy come alive, a gold lam&eacute; trench coat with eyelet fringing and hundreds of paillettes sparkle, dazzle, and tell us this isn&rsquo;t a dream, that the modern woman is alive, free and has a lot to say&hellip;and accomplish. </span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">&lsquo;Throughout my life, my mother has been this incredible force of nature. As a single parent, she raised me and my eight sisters with unfaltering purpose and pride. So, naturally, I have always been drawn to strong women and, in turn, they have also given me the confidence to express my own femininity. They are not afraid to challenge expectations and I have always been in such awe of their determination. They are warriors. I wanted this collection to feel truly emblematic of the power of feminine energy: a modern armour that captures its characteristic fierce aura. There&rsquo;s an underlying attitude to the collection that&rsquo;s very British; of being unique, eccentric and totally authentic in how you express yourself. This presentation is a love letter to women and a celebration of their incomparable strength.&rsquo; Riccardo Tisci, Burberry Chief Creative Officer.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Following the Winter 21 look book, Balenciaga&rsquo;s &ldquo;Feel Good Video&rdquo; focuses on sounds that trigger joy and release &ldquo;good feelings&rdquo;. The predominantly unisex collection gives us 90.6% of certified sustainable plain and printed fabrics. Exploring new categories, they shake it up in the formalwear and casual front, with comfortable silhouettes of largely fitted clothes in an eclectic mix of satin, viscose gabardine, linen, crushed nylon, and cotton. The dresses are oversized and comfortable, and the 90&rsquo;s tracksuits have birthed the creation of a visual illusion of padded coats, parkas and fleece jackets. The jeans, shorts and hoodies both defy but provide comfort with a twist.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The collection is photographed with background images of iconic tourist attractions, a beautiful tribute of better days. And in line with that, one day we will soar high again, as airplane engines roar, and we walk new and familiar streets as tourists or return once more as love struck visitors who can&rsquo;t stay away from the itch to travel and explore.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 10pt;">It&rsquo;s time to celebrate! Let us celebrate 100 years of grandeur and history. 100 spins around the sun have brought us where we are today. Let&rsquo;s celebrate 100 years of Gucci despite endless births of fashionable reinventions throughout the years. An aria is a set piece for a solo opera singer to express an emotion, and Gucci&rsquo;s 100 years of motion, creation and soul deserve such a profound center-stage moment. We raise a glass to fragility and vulnerability while cloaked in the sparkles of endless glittering clothes, and hope to feel like ourselves soon as we chase laughter once more in all our favorite spots. Here&rsquo;s to 100 more years of pushing limits, setting new standards and finding new ways to bare one&rsquo;s soul through fashion expressionism. &nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 10pt;">Gucci, you have always been a breath of fresh air, and may you always shine even when the world around you is dark. &nbsp;</span></p>
