2. GUCCI

Gucci been a pioneer in the fashion industry over the last few years, with Alessandro Michele taking the brand to new levels. They had many notable moments, but our favourite was the Twinsburg show in Milan.

Inspired by the designer Alessandro Michele’s mother and her identical twin sister, he has always been fascinated by the “magic” of twinships. He challenged the cathartic idea for things that seem to reflect themselves – that duplication of clothes shouldn't mean the loss of originality/ individuality.

With the brilliantly cast 68 sets of twins for the show, singular models walked the runway before a wall was lifted to reveal their identical twin across the aisle. The collection alluded to biology playing a major role in the creation of twins, with vibrant floral prints on accessories and animal imagery on jewellery. There has been nothing else in fashion quite like it before for sure.
