Gucci to create couture fashion line

Paris couture week is in full fashion swing with designers such as Dior, Armani and Givenchy already showing their beautiful creations.

And despite the sad and prominent absence of Christian Lacroix, which went into administration last year, it seems the fashion world is picking itself up with some exciting news.

According to WWD Gucci has stepped into the couture gap and creative director Frida Giannini has said the company is currently working on its first couture collection pieces.

However, unlike other houses Gucci will be taking its designs to new levels, shunning the Paris couture runway; for appointment only commissions,which will be aimed at celebrity clients. And we all know these aren’t going to be cheap.
