After seeing Caroline Ribeiro in the blue python dress on the back cover of Vogue, Spring 2000 was the collection that turned me onto high fashion. Sexy, exotic, minimalism at it's best, I have yet to see python used more effectively. I remember this collection turning up in countless music videos, red carpets, award shows.. And the ad campaign was gorgeous, mysterious and dark.

1. f/w 02.03...gorgeous and gothy and sexy and dark...
2. f/w 03.04...i loved the suiting so much and the corset belted jackets and coats, like spike said, it was a strong, sexy woman that wasn't trashy...

God I can't believe this thread popped back up. In my defense I was pretty much solely focused on memories of Gucci with Tom's last show having just happened.

The weird thing is how my favorite Gucci shows have changed quite a bit. These days I'd definitely rate f/w 03 as my top favorite, remove f/w 95 and add in s/s and f/w 97.

It's still one of my favourite looks of all time, and variations of the same theme has become staples in the Gucci wardrobe ever since.


Definitely. I still rock these pants every now and then.

Yes! Nothing Frida will ever attempt at will live up to the standards of what Gucci was under Tom.

This is easy. My fav Gucci ever is the F/W 96 collection. When I think of Tom Ford and Gucci I automatically think of those white Halston-ish gowns. So sleek and sexy. I've dreamt of getting married in those dresses but, ahem, I'm the wrong size...
