Yes, there were celebrities in loud outfits lining the front row (hello, Sienna Miller in sequins), and even familiar faces walking down the catwalk. And of course, with 115 looks in total, there were a few feathers, sparkles and lace pieces to be seen (it is Gucci, after all). But despite the glamorous LA location and extravagant old-Hollywood atmosphere, when I actually got to dissecting the collection after it started dropping recently, the individual pieces have a really timeless, classic appeal— most with a chic nautical twist that’s perfect for transitioning from summer to early autumn. Think camel, check and navy blazers, white tailored shorts, denim dresses and simple black swimsuits, with plenty of the heritage horsebit motif thrown in for good measure.
