I was blown away by Frida Giannini's spring Gucci collection. It reminded me a lot of Gottex, with its fabulous designs and colors mostly in yellow, black and white with splashes of hot pink. Her ultra-mod '50s-updated big skirt, jacket, and belt ensembles (left) almost had me drooling and instantly shriek--I want that! The evening gowns are just to die for, most with one-shoulder strap, but all in such intricate, elegant designs in fresh, urbane patterns that I can totally picture myself donning at a posh charity ball--(sigh) if only...

There were also a few plaid pant sets thrown in the mix in shades of gray, blue and black. I'm not sure how I feel about these--a little too much plaid for my taste. But I did like her abstract mini deb dresses, especially the one on the right.
I couldn't help but include a few more of her glamorous gowns and skirt combos...
