Times Square may have its vocal detractors, but it\u2019s hard to deny that it\u2019s the living, breathing, Naked Cowboying center of New York City. No wonder Demna, ever unafraid to explode a clich\u00e9, chose Manhattan\u2019s always-on nucleus as the unlikely setting for his cruise show tonight. Given Gucci\u2019s longstanding history with the metropolis\u2014it was the location of its first store outside Italy back in 1953\u2014\u201cbringing this show to New York feels like a homecoming for the brand,\u201d the designer said in a \u201cmanifesto\u201d released post-event. With Kim Kardashian<\/a> and Mariah Carey<\/a> in attendance and Cindy Crawford, Tom Brady, and a (newly brunette) Paris Hilton on the catwalk, the runway refracted on its famous big-screen billboards, the show lived up to its frenetic venue.<\/p>\n

Demna was inspired by Robert Longo\u2019s \u201cMen in the Cities\u201d photo series of figures in corporate suiting executing extreme, balletic moves\u2014ordinary people rendered extraordinary. \u201cTo do something that felt real to New York, I wanted to show this collection on the kind of people you might pass on the street,\u201d he said in his show notes, \u201cindividuals with their own way of wearing clothes, a plurality of styles that intersect like the streets of the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the show, guests were treated to ads for real and fictitious Gucci products (including Gucci Life longevity capsules, a wink at the fashion industry\u2019s current obsession with life extension). Then came the sartorial offerings: high-sheen suits and banker pinstripes for the daytime hustle, and aughts-reminiscent low-rise jeans and crop tops for the nighttime one. Just like everyday New Yorkers, the models clutched their iPhones, bodega bouquets, and keys, or toted yoga mats\u2014commutercore at its finest. Demna nodded to the house DNA with Horsebit motifs, signature red-and-green Web stripe accents (which, at one point, took the form of a bandeau top), and cocoon-like duvet stoles.<\/p>\n

The collection was titled GucciCore; the name was not just another expression of what the designer has previously termed \u201cGucci-ness;\u201d<\/a> it denotes a permanent collection of wardrobe staples\u2014a smart move on Demna\u2019s part. And, in tribute to the city, GucciNY, a limited-edition lineup of New York-inspired pieces, will be available starting tomorrow at its NYC store locations and online. And you thought having to fight your way through rush hour was competitive.<\/p>\n
