‘Peanuts’ comic character Snoopy has been the inspiration behind Gucci’s Fall collection this time. Say hello to some whimsical chic as the lovable dog features on tees and sweaters deisgned by Alessandro Michele, who is quite an ardent animal enthusiast .His FY 15 collection had earlier displayed eccentric tiger, serpent and bumblebee motifs and designs, and now he has done a snoopy-dog twist, with the cartoon animal imprinted on the front in his characteristic white against the bright red backdrop. The back showcases the recurring Alessandro tiger stripes representing the designer’s motto- “l’aveugle par amour” ( “blind for love” in French). The sweaters are 100 per cent wool with jacquard knit snoopy and Rib trims, all and all units manufactured in the brand’s home country-Italy.
