If it was Tom Ford who brought Gucci back from the dead, then it was Frida Giannini who gave it an insatiably fashion-forwards edge. And that forwards looking design has been close to revolutionary; though whether Gucci's Autumn (Fall)/Winter 2009/2010 collection will prove as influential as those of a year ago remains to be tested (if it's any measure, Tania is just as keen to purchase this year's shoes to sit along side her fringed Gucci boots). No matter though, as the promotion the new range marches on.
