So I was recently walking through some upmarket mall when I passed the Gucci shop.
I have literally never been inside one of these establishments.
I have literally never owned anything by the brand.
And, after seeing the poster outside the store, I am pretty sure that situation will continue.
Seriously, what the hell is that?
Is the daytime television quiz host look now ‘a thing’?
Is the sort of hairstyle that would get you beaten up in my day now cool?
I guess it might be given big, black, square-shaped spectacle frames have evolved from ‘glasses for the poor’ to ‘glasses for the cool’.
Of course, maybe the geek at the back of the photo is not the person I should be focusing on … but the attractive and stylish lady at the front, but if that’s the case, then Gucci need a lesson in art direction because I challenge any person to see this poster and not focus their attention on the z-grade geek at the back.
Yeah … yeah … I appreciate me commenting on fashion is like David Cameron talking about the poor and that the last thing Gucci would ever want is for me to like something they do, but this is ridiculous isn’t it. It’s not just me, is it?

Comment by George April 7, 2016 @ 6:38 amI mean the Steven reference, not his dalliance with the authorities.

Comment by andy@cynic April 7, 2016 @ 7:15 amThat’s funny because it’s true.
Out of interest, has anyone heard from him recently?
Comment by Rob April 7, 2016 @ 8:15 amI think that “style” is called the extended bowl. And at least they have hair.
Comment by DH April 7, 2016 @ 6:31 amI admit I was wrong. You knew that if you waited long enough your hairstyle would come back in fashion.
Comment by Bazza April 7, 2016 @ 6:50 amBecause green isn’t your colour?
Comment by john April 7, 2016 @ 6:40 amGreen might not be his colour but he loves it. How else do you explain his fascination with camo everything?
Comment by Bazza April 7, 2016 @ 6:51 amIt’s the colour of money?
Comment by john April 7, 2016 @ 6:53 amHe wants to hide from the IRS.
Comment by DH April 7, 2016 @ 6:55 amI think with the latest internet leak, it proves no one is going to be able to hide from the IRS.
Comment by Rob April 7, 2016 @ 8:16 amI think art direction is not the most important lesson Gucci requires Robert.
Comment by George April 7, 2016 @ 6:41 amIncidentally, I’m happy to announce that we’ve reached peak strategy.

Why did you do this to me? And what’s their strategy? Humiliation.

Comment by andy@cynic April 7, 2016 @ 7:18 amYou can never embarrass a man who wears birkenstocks and loves queen.

Comment by andy@cynic April 7, 2016 @ 7:44 amI have so much still to learn.
Comment by DH April 7, 2016 @ 8:02 amDo you remember that lime green jacket I had at HHCL? It was hideous and yet I still put it on every now and then. This would look positively classy in comparison so of course I’d wear it.
