Gucci models come out with “severed” heads on the podium
The creative director of Gucci, Alessandro Michele, put on another performance at the Milan Fashion Week: this time the scene of the fall-winter show, 2018, was transferred to the “operating chamber” (and also the new Gucci headquarters) , dragons, snakes and chameleons. According to The Business Of Fashion, the statement of the designer’s show was inspired by the essay by the philosopher and feminist Donna Haraway, The Cyborg Manifesto, first published in 1984. In it, Haraway rejects the usual division of people, men and women, as well as people and cars, and argues that women will be able to gain freedom only when they become post-gender beings - in other words, “cyborg”.
In addition, the show was closed by the Russian woman Olga Zapivokhina, six months ago, had a brain surgery.
