Alessandro Michele, Gucci creative director and his magical interpretation of the new jewelry and watches collections – Xian China

Already at Baselworld I was positively surprised by the new Gucci collections and in these days in Xian (China) it couldn’t be anything else than a “cabinet of curiosities” to pay homage to the aesthetic taste and innovative sensitivity of Alessandro Michele, Gucci Creative Director.
The traveling exhibition was unveiled on May 24th in Xian City.

The Wunderkammer atmosphere is special and unique, the collections are showcased in real treasure chest enhancing essence, story and beauty in every single detail. The colored velvet base highlights metal’s gleam while the black semi-transparent screen lends regality to the precious stones. On displays are the most recent watch and jewelry lines.

Special guest was the Chinese singer and actress Chris Lee. She was stunning with her Gucci pieces from Icon collection and the Diamantissima dress-watch.

This wonderful exhibition conveys Alessandro Michele’s unique vision. The myriad of symbols that he includes – bee, heart, stars and motifs from the animalier world,- provide a rich source of inspiration and bring fresh air into timepieces and jewelry. A new interpretation to figurative theme and above all a new way to interpret jewelry beyond conventionality.

In the next weeks the Gucci Timepieces & Jewelry Exhibit will travel across Asia, hoping that it will soon arrive in Italy.
