Every fashion month, a designer&#39;s unofficial&nbsp;goal is to surprise an audience full of jaded fashionistas. In the past, we&#39;ve witnessed <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/chanel-fall-winter-2017-2018-ready-to-wear-runway-collection-paris-fashion-week" target="_blank">rockets taking flight</a>&nbsp;and<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion-week/chanel-spring-summer-2018" target="_blank"> life-sized replications of waterfalls</a>;&nbsp;so of course, every show must constantly upping the ante when it comes to presenting a new collection. And speaking of upping the ante, that is&nbsp;precisely what Alessandro&nbsp;Michele did at Gucci Fall/Winter&nbsp;2018.&nbsp;

Last season, Michele&nbsp;created a mythological land of whimsy on the runway inspired by Ancient Rome. This season, he opted for a clinical, operating room.&nbsp;

Below, our show notes on the collection.

Memorable piece&nbsp;

Look 28:&nbsp;a piece that shimmered and shine. A dazzling array of sequins covered the delicate, cream lace cutouts and Victorian sleeves. The look was made complete with a pair of ornate Carnivale-style sunglasses worn over a black ski mask, gaudy chandelier earrings and a pair of classic Gucci trainers in mustard.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Best accessories 
Look 6&#39;s silk scarf with horse print designed specifically to&nbsp;be worn on the head.&nbsp;The fantastic reptiles (and human heads) produced by&nbsp;Makinarium, a special visual effects factory in Rome.&nbsp;

Collection inspiration 
Creative Director Alessandro Michele took inspiration from many sources. For one, Americana: several logos emblazoned on to coats, t-shirts, and jackets were taken from classic American institutions like Paramount Pictures and The New York Yankees.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Potential trend 
Headwraps in the form of scarves, ski masks, and beanies. It was Russian babushka meets Armenian bride. Crystal headgear and silk turbans, too.&nbsp;

Location 
The show was held at the Gucci Hub in Milan, which was transformed into a turquoise operating room complete with PVC on the walls and floors, and emergency exits. LED lighting came in the form of surgical examination lamps and from the ceiling, while the audience sat in typical hospital waiting room chairs. According to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bfdan6Sntt6/?hl=en&amp;taken-by=gucci" target="_blank">Gucci</a>, &quot;The concept reflects the work of a designer &mdash; the act of cutting, splicing and reconstructing materials and fabrics to create a new personality and identity with them.&quot;&nbsp;

&nbsp;
