Gucci Kicks Off 70th Birthday Celebrations

Legendary fashion label Gucci launched last night the festivities for its 70th birthday this year by holding its first formal cruise collection catwalk show in Rome.

The collection showcased last night had a very sexy Seventies feel to it. Composed of trouser suits, silk blouses, floaty dresses and relaxed tailoring, the collection was inspired by Jane Birkin and Talitha Getty, according to creative director Frida Giannini.

After the show, more than 300 guests, including a number of celebrities and big names in fashion, were treated to a sumptuous dinner, as well as an after party at the grounds of Rome's Villa Aurelia where the show was held. British band Goldfrapp was among the performers.
