WATCH IT NOW - GUCCI MEN’S FALL WINTER 2023

 

HARRY STYLES AT THE GRAMMYS 2023

 Wow where do I start? and where do I finish? There was controversy around him winning Blum of the year but I’m going confess I’m a mess for his album Harry’s House ... should BEYONCÉ  have won it ?  Nahhhhh she’s getting boring now and like a bit of a cult I used to listen to BEYONCÉ way back when she used to be popular with popular songs and not brainwashing ones ....

Let’s move on to Harry styles style  perfection for stage and that’s when he shines on the fashion stakes the fringed custom jumpsuit from Gucci was amazing, not I said for stage but I’m sure coming to a high street or club near you soon we’ll see someone somewhere wearing it without a stage 

Watch this space

GRAMMYS - JENNIFER LOPEZ WEARS GUCCI

 For me this is my ultimate favourite Grammy dress and it’s from gucci and worn by none other than Jennifer Lopez..... she topped the look off with jewellery by Bulgari in the form of two serpentine necklaces and Bulgari rings .... she wins best dressed for me .... her music and films 

Not so much!

HARRY STYLES FOR GUCCI HA HA HA CAMPAIGN

GUCCI ARE NOW SELLING $12. Virtual sneakers

I’m saying nothing I’ve got nothing to say .... ok I know people will go and buy them so they got in with

Gucci fall winter 2020 campaign

I normally attend Milan fashion week but I didn't attend this show..... although I have a great relationship with the brand and I've been wearing Gucci since the 90s I'm going to put it down to the fact that I'm older now...... when I was younger I always bought the runway collection and was smart with the pieces I bought so they would be iconic pieces and have a resealable value ..... I'm not going to bash the collection but it's not for me it's definitely for fashion victims with money or the fabulous

YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE........ GUCCI BALACLAVA......

Ok you must have seen it....... this is debatable and makes me think about what I've bought and put in my wardrobe 

Hands up and if you follow me on social media which is tricky as I have a name and I have always worked on the process of if you follow me and my nonsense it is only fair I follow you 

Now things have changed I've lost over 10k followers for speaking the truth but it's only recently I was advised that following people even though I don't have thousands of followers because I refuse to buy.... ok just following people raises their profile and my followers are likely to follow them..... so I will be tidying up my profile as I've worked hard for it 

Now what are your thoughts on the Gucci balaclava?????

No one spotted it when it came down the runway..... I'll be honest I didn't my thing was I didn't like the collection and like I always say it's overstyled for the runway but currently I'm now thinking about the fact and asking the question 

Is this what fashion has come to..... controversy, we have Prada- gate which the Asian influencers and markets choose to ignore....... then we have Dolce&Gabbana a brand I have worn for over 25 years and who hired millennials who court millennials who have bought followers and slowly got rid of the original DG family PR and only deals with influencers who everyone in the world can see are Frauds 

Now this is my favourite....... black people have money and have been dissed by many brands...... moncler, Versace (who have changed their ways)  dolce who haven't because they are invincible like the millennials guiding them and now we have Gucci 

I bought a lot and I will wear it but the problem is on social black people are really getting it now because they wear the brand 

I'm not going to go into this anymore because I will be here for a long time 

Me as a black person and with all the controversy and I buy all my wardrobe so I can have freedom to say what I feel about the products 

Should I stop wearing these brands of controversy??????? The same brands that I and many of the original bloggers helped put on the social media map and now they act like I or we don't exist 

I would really like your thoughts on this....... Instagram says yes but after reading this you should know that they can't be trusted 

I'm a blogger not an influencer and with that I get over a million views a month and that tells me that there's still a lot of people out there who prefer the truth 

REVIEW - WATCH IT NOW - Gucci SS 2019 Women's #MFW

Maybe I'm getting old but fashion is really .... really ...... changing a lot .... archives are being ripped off...... not only from the brands archives but from other brands archives and it's getting all acceptable now I mainly wear Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana and I am perplexed now as to where I'm going to buy clothing from as brands are hinting they are making clothes for the young IE milennials the same people who can't afford the clothing and leaving out the older 30 and 40 somethings and now the clothing from collections offered is mainly seasonal clothing where as 5 to 10 years ago there was always seasonal pieces but they concentrated on classic pieces ... Gucci do this with for example their Gucci Princetown slippers but will they go in "balls deep" and make everything seasonal? Listen I'm a realist and to make money an all seasonal piece collection earns money especially with fashion victims but is it the recipe for disaster and will it backfire?



Let me know your thoughts and use the comment box as that's what it's there for!!!

THIS WEEK'S MOST WANTED .......

I absolutely love this and with a lot of the collections now they are over styled for the runway and it's the young who would rather starve and not pay their rent or rich Japanese who buy the full looks .... but like most collections look at them, look at them again, look again and you just pick out pieces .... even if you don't want to pay rent for one month try and buy pieces you can wear over and over again that's what I always advise my personal shopping clients or pieces that have resale value as this is big business also ..... now I have lots of tanks in my wardrobe and when I saw this I went digging and found four tanks but not Gucci .... tanks never go out of fashion so for me I advise you that this is a piece that will be a classic and you can wear any season ..... its also priced really good in today's money at £290 .... I say that but I remember the good old days with Tom Ford for Gucci when you can pick up the top of the range trousers for £200 but salaries were in tune with these things but they are not now ......but if you want to splurge this is a good piece ..... I am not good with knit wear as I will wear it once and not wear it for maybe another 8 months and then the months would have had a party so be careful with it and contain it securely but this is a great piece ...



It's 100% wool with embroidered bees and stars ..... there's a lot of pretenders of brands copying the bees which Gucci did first ..... there was a brand last week who invited me to check out the new celebrity collection which was basically a poor man's verison of Gucci with Bees and stars but unlike a lot of influencers who went and are now plugging it and saying it's the best thing ever since Karl Lagerfeld ...... I chose not to attend as I like to wear the real thing but on social media I have noticed a lot of people wearing fake Gucci and they (Gucci) like their posts because they are young and know where to buy followers..... but core customers like me who buy the brand and have been for over 20 years and post the real deal just get ignored or in my case I got reported! .....


It's my money and I have a wardrobe budget for TV so I still buy into the brand because on TV the young impressionable will like it....

WATCH IT NOW - Gucci Cruise 2019

I've been wearing Gucci since the 90s they are one of my go to brands when I'm buying clothing for personal use and my TV wardrobe but this cruise collection has done nothing for me but like most things I need to watch it carefully and break it down but always from back in the day the cruise collection was the safe bet if you didn't like the mainline which I always used to buy and own many pieces .... I'm on the fence but at first glance my thoughts are I'm moving on .....

MUST SEE - Gucci shopping haul

I love this time of year .... I get my budget to start buying my TV wardrobe and I get to go shop but it's still dangerous as I buy TV clothing and then I start buying other pieces like this ... I have many T shirts from Gucci and I've been a customer for over 25 years and soon as I go in I get asked if I would like something to drink .... next time you go into a Gucci store look for the big mirrors as this is where the real spending happens and of course I indulged ...... here's one of the T shirts I got I have it in white but got it in black .......

MUST SEE - Gucci Fall Winter 2017 AD Campaign: Gucci and Beyond

I'm going to come clean and for someone who was a hater ...... now I'm a lover and Alessandro Michele is one of the best things to happen to Gucci and on Par with Tom Ford .... he's nearly there for me to take over as the best creative director Gucci ever had .... I think he has but i'm in denial and still living in the late 90s and early 2000's 


here is the latest campaign which is tres sci fi and after the pre fall he's managed to top it as the pre fall with it's Northern soul feel, filmed in London just around the corner from where I live they had a party and filmed the campaign and I was not invited as my contacts at Gucci UK have moved on to pastures new .....

Alessandro is the best!!!! why? I'm now buying Gucci again because as you know I pay for my own shit!!!









Introducing the Gucci Fall Winter 2017 film campaign. Motifs from sci-fi of the 50s and 60s appear in the video alongside a Star Trek inspiration and the men’s and women’s collections designed by Alessandro Michele.

TODAY'S SHOES ARE FROM GUCCI

These days there are so many hot shoes out there but there are only a couple of brands I wear .... Christian Louboutin and Gucci ..... I bought these recently but they are so cool I want another pair as these will not go out of fashion .... there are so many variations of this sneaker but I'm a savvy shopper so I say keep it simple and they will last season after season ...... They are the Ace embroidered sneaker available GUCCI

MUST SEE - Gucci Pre-Fall 2017 Campaign: Soul Scene – The Director’s Cut

Gucci have got it so so so right ... I'm going to be honest when I saw the first collection from Alessandro Michele for Gucci I was like what the Fuck!! with Pussy bow blouses for men! but now I get it! season after season It just gets better and better and its the label you must be wearing even though it's a little bit pricey I'm dying to buy a pair of the Princeton slippers but everyone has them but I am actively looking for a pair of shoes from this collection just to say I was part of it ... this reminds me of when Tom ford was at the helm he got it so right and I bought just about everything and still have lots of pieces .....



This video was shot just around the corner from where I live in Dalston #screeeeaaammmmmm I saw them setting up and was wondering what it was all about and then they had a party to celebrate the shoot and alas I was not invited!



RIGHT NOW I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF GUCCI!

Best campaign I've seen and really like in at least 3 years! it does what it's suppose to do and what alot of campaigns don't do ... it draws you in and makes you want to be a part of that world and you need to buy something even if its just a keyring .....

so so so classy I can't praise this campaign enough






Inspired by the photographs of artist Malick Sidibé, who in the 60s and 70s captured youth culture in Africa, the Pre-Fall 2017 campaign video reflects the vibrant attitude of the collection. Referencing the spirit of England's underground Northern Soul movement from the 60s and 70s, the campaign explores the freedom of expression found in music and dance. Set in the Mildmay club in London, a colorful dancehall, photographer Glen Luchford together with artistic direction by Christopher Simmonds capture Alessandro Michele's latest collections in a dynamic and spontaneous video and images.
