Are metal studs and silver mesh miniskirts and leather leggings / boots really the weapons for a crisis? Ultra-short hemlines, skin-tight pants, taut jackets, pin heels and a thrusting attitude make up the general message of Gucci Winter 2009 Fashion Season.

With the economy tanking, designers from Gucci showed that, when hedge funds are bankrupt and your credit card line is cut off, there is always one thing to rely on: sex. Frida Giannini has had a thing for sexy looks from the start of her tenure at the brand. As soon as Depeche Mode’s “Dangerous” started on the soundtrack, you knew that it was back again to the rock chick who could stride into a club and kick up her thigh-high boots.

Giannin in a silver-sequined T-shirt dress backstage, talked about “a dangerous woman who has a darker side”, but there was plenty of light reflecting from iridescent fabrics and from metallic effects imbedded in anything from a pony skin jacket to a drop-crotch silver jumpsuit.
