BRAND OBSESSION: GUCCI’S FALL 2008/09 COLLECTION
Friday, September 5, 2008
It seems like only yesterday, I saw the Gucci Fall 2008/2009 runway collection online. It was a very exciting collection to see as well - a boho-chic theme filled with interesting prints and textures - Gucci is setting the trends for the upcoming season.
After the premiere of the collection over the summer, celebrities couldn’t wait to get their hands into it. Stars like Rihanna, Cassie, Amerie, and Vanessa Simmons have already been seen rocking the hottest clothing and accessories from the runways. I decided to come up with similar looks inspired by the show…
A. Sleeveless Satin Paisley Dress ($17.80)
Gucci set the trend of paisley prints off this Fall & Winter season - featuring paisley printed blouses and long gowns. Get your print on with this cheap blouse I found online.
B. Textured Chain Bracelet ($4.80)
Yet another steal I found online. The Gucci runway show was filled with chain & charmed bracelets and necklaces.
C. a-c. Regular Rise Skinny Jean ($29.90) ; Vintage Tassel Belt ($48 ) ; Advertised Patent Belt with Pyramid Studs ($29)
Alot of dark colored pants were featured in the Gucci show, so I found these cheap jeans. To accessorize it, I also found a vintage belt with tassels on ebay and a studded belt online to set of the look.
D. Belted velvet jacket ($69)
Among the many fabrics and textures in the show - Velvet was also popular. This purple Velvet blazer adds a funky flavor to the boho chic look…
E. Leather Studded crossbody bag ($125)
This leather studded bag is a great alternative for those who don’t have the cash to fund out for the over $1000 bags from Gucci’s Fall collection. This bag also helps to complete the look…
F. Jeffrey Campbell Crank Boot ($198)
This Jeffery Campbell boot is almost a match to the $1250 Gucci devendra boot that the model in the photo is wearing. Also serves for a great alternative…

Great post hopefully it will get cold enough down here for me to try some of these looks with my own twist. Gucci is always with the studs or stones. I remember those gold shoes Amerie wore in that this 1 thing vid. I LOVED those. The ankle boots reminded me of that.

I LIKE THE GUCCI LINE. YOU DID THE BEST WITH THE SECOND LOOK TO FIND SIMILAR ITEMS. NOT SO MUCH THE FIRST LOOK.

Just comes to show u that some of these people get their stuff for free. We average folks would spent our rent or mortgage payments for a $2,000 and up handbag.
I’d rather have $2,000 in my pocket.
