The Male –
Androgynous Mind, Eclectic Body

Introducing ‘The Male – Androgynous Mind, Eclectic Body,’ a new exhibition in the Gucci Garden demonstrates how Gucci has interpreted and defined men’s fashion over the years.

Curated by Alessandro Michele and Maria Luisa Frisa, the show meditates on masculinity and maleness according to the House through a collection of clothing, objects, accessories, images, books, magazines and video documents. It maps a landscape that combines eccentricity and immediacy, and the formal and the sexy. Seen in the pieces displayed—including a red silk shirt with a bow tied at the neck that Alessandro Michele included in his first men’s show (for Fall Winter 2015)—are reflections of the concept of masculinity since the 60s expressed by Gucci’s various creative directors.
