gucci F/W 18 show featured severed heads, baby dragons and a third eye

upon a set designed to look like an operating theatre, models walking in the gucci fall/winter fashion show revealed a rather peculiar accessory – a severed head – and that wasn’t the only oddity. in a show referring to ideas about post-humanism and hybridisation, creative director alessandro michele sent freakishly real looking reptiles, dragons and even cyborgs down the runway.

presented during milan fashion week, however unpredictable models with horns and third eyes might be, the show is still a half-expected continuation of the fantasy world from which michele draws his inspiration. to create the awe-inspiring, freakishly stunning replicas included in this presentation, gucci employed the skills of techno-artisans, makinarium, a rome-based factory who produce bespoke special and visual effects. their portfolio includes works for ridley scott, vlad marsavin and danny boyle.
