Confident and cool is the way Frida Giannini’s Gucci guy took to the catwalk this afternoon. In tuxedos and gauzy silk sweaters of jewel shades, the designer gave the men in our life sophisticated eveningwear looks interspersed – and combined – with casual duffel coats and chunky knits, trench coats and roll necks.

An equestrian element ran through the collection like a string of thoroughbreds – from the signature Gucci red-green saddle bands used as trim on weekend bags to the majority of trousers, most of them finished with ankle buttons like strict jodhpurs. The mix of craftsmanship and cool was also spot on in a great pigeon gray weekend bag with tobacco trim, color coordinated with lean jodhpurs and a suede jacket, where the jacket elbows were the exact same shade as the bag’s leather bands.

That blend of artisan and artiness was apparent in a snazzy ostrich shirt jacket in muddy brown or a striking asphalt-hued black crocodile min safari jacket that had both pizzazz and oodles of gentlemanly poise. Artiness abounded in the accessories, as well, whether a computer satchel had a leopard skin finish or a briefcase came with kangaroo prints. And, by the way, this Gucci showing made it official: it’s cool again for guys to wear gold chain necklaces, a look that was last seen in ’80s hit police show, "Miami Vice."  Or treat yourself with a cheap Replica Gucci Item.
