Gucci votes ‘remain’: Italian house celebrates UK with anglo-themed cruise collection

Both Christian Dior and Gucci chose English locations for their resort 2017 shows this week — with the later taking over London's Westminster Abbey on Thursday evening in a historical fashion first. Creative Director Alessandro Michele went all-out ‘rule Britannia' on the collection, which ticked all the nationalistic style boxes, sweeping from dreamy printed floral silks to tartan kilts and Union Jack bomber jackets. Michele was thorough in his sartorial homage to the nation — the collection drew inspiration from the country's punk era as much as it did its Gothic Victorian heritage, its penchant for clompy Nineties boots and elegant garden party dresses — “When I think about London I think about gardens, beautiful gardens filled with flowers,” he says.

Fashionistas got caught in an elevator at Fashion Week and went Snapchat and selfie crazy

What do a group of fashion kids do when they get trapped in a elevator for 40 minutes? They get on the snaps and selfies like nobody's damn business.  In a microcosm of farshion hell, Christian Wilkins (the son of Australian morning show legend Richard), Australia's Grazia Entertainment Editor Nicholas Carolan and a bunch of other fashion-forward types were caught hot and sweaty in an elevator in Sydney, Australia, for an eternity.  SEE ALSO: Skinny ties, skinny trousers: The hip Teddy Boys of 1950s London Not knowing how to deal with the possibility of death by fashion, the squad used their final moments wisely by sending out S.O.S. Snapchats and pouting what could have been their final pouts. They also got their Beyoncé twerk on.  “When it first happened I think everyone was a little panicked … I asked everyone if they preferred Rihanna or Beyoncé and we figured that Bey was calmer so we all just listened to some music, took plenty of selfies to document the process,” Wilkins told Mashable Australia  via email.  Wilkins said he scored a few new Snapchat followers due to the incident and formed an unbreakable bond with his new clique. His priorities definitely came into focus.   “There were nine of us in there and the lift just jolted shut and this siren went off,” Wilkins told Yahoo 7 Entertainment
