Get ready for some love, peace and Soullllllllll! Gucci is taking it all the way back and making history with its newest advert. The Gucci Pre-Fall 2017 Ad Campaign features an all black cast of models for its throwback to retro soul. Let melanin reign, because this is definitely a glow up for diversity within the fashion realm.
Gucci Pre-Fall 2017 Ad Campaign Stars All Black Models
Bust a move! In the states a popular television show highlighted the soul music movement of the 60s, 70s and beyond. Soul Train brought to the foreground black culture, black fashion, black music and of course dance. However, not to be forgotten is London’s very own soul scene. Gucci taps into the era’s essence of cool and fun while showcasing vintage inspired couture with a modern twist.
In regards to the inspiration behind the campaign Gucci states, “Presenting the Gucci Pre-Fall 2017 ad campaign referencing the spirit of England’s underground Northern Soul movement of the 60’s. Set in the rich and colorful dancehalls of the Mildmay Club in London. Athletic dance moves and exuberant social scenes photographed by Glen Luchford.”
The campaign certainly looks like tons of good times and vibes. The photographs as well as video captured literally transport you to the past and makes you crave to stay there. Plus, as mentioned it demonstrates the swift happening in the fashion as well as modeling industries.
For years many felt minorities could not “sale” an image or product; unlike like the usual beauty standard mostly seen throughout countless ads and editorials. However, it is refreshing to see Gucci as well as other fashion houses go against the grain to help break barriers and put such thinking to rest. Every race rocks and is certainly marketable. As a result, we do see more african, asian, indian and spanish models being booked, but there is always room for improvement.
Gucci Pre-Fall 2017 Ad Campaign
So far the fashionable and energetic campaign is being well-received. We love it because we adore this particular era in time and wish we could plop ourselves right in the middle of all the action. We love to dance so this campaign makes us want to twirl, flip, kick and do the splits right along with the selected models. Furthermore, the fashions are vibrant and boisterous pairing nicely with the movements/poses of the models.
Two of the ladies who are apart of the campaign spoke out on how much they enjoyed being apart of the project. They said:
“So many first time experiences… I am beyond grateful to be apart of such a prestigious campaign. The crew, my fellow models and dancers thank you!”
-Zen Wilson (Look for the model jumping into mid-air in green outfit)
“Gucci Pre-Fall 2017 Ad Campaign shot in London! Thank you so much for casting me. I couldn’t ask for a more amazing team and fellow models on this campaign. So excited for all the blessings to come.”
-Akua Shabaka (You’ll know her when you see a white coat and orange tights)
The models are not the only ones talking. The people have already spoken as well. What is the talk around town about the Gucci campaign? Here are few of the thoughts and opinions we spotted via social.
“Culture.”
“Wonderful style!”
“OMG yes!”
“The get down brothers lol.”
“This made me emotional, very well done Gucci as always.”
“Perfect. Soul Train.”
“I want to see more.”
“So cool!!”
“I am so down with this funk vibe.”
“Hardddddd.”

Knitwear continues to dominate the season and we continue love every last variation of it! When someone mentions knits you instantly think sweaters, scarves or perhaps mittens. Yet, pants never seem to be quite on the radar. Nevertheless, Rodarte for their Spring/ Summer 2017 collection sent a very eye-catching pair of knit pants down the catwalk. Oh darlings, yes we dare!
Fashionable Mention: Knit Pants From Rodarte SS/17 Collection
We had to make these knit pants a fashionable mention due to three reasons. They showcase ingenuity, they are modern but they also possess a nice vintage and retro vibe. We love when designers infuse some throwback sparks into their fashions and this look was definitely a success.
The pants are actually apart of an entire set. The top and pant combo is a delicate and deliciously feminine ensemble of knits. The neutral color is very spring and makes it easy to pair as separates with other garments within your closet.
Nevertheless, our eyes immediately do a bulls-eye target on the pants and pants alone. We adore the length of these knit pants because they almost reach completely over the heels. With the sock and heel revival still going strong, this particular look plays into that trend somewhat.
Moreover, the flare detailing is beyond chic and give us 70’s glamour. It is a nice touch of flare without screaming for attention. Plus, these pants have a look and feel of leggings. Pair these knit pants with an oversized or loose shirt and dangling accessories and you are sure to be a major hit.

Well alright, alright, alright! The woman that coined the phrase “flawless” is surely looking like that and more! The mommy-to-be of twins is not allowing her pregnancy change up her Sasha Fierce style. While most expectant ladies would be turning to sweats and oversized dresses, the Queen of the Hive is boldly showcasing her bump. We spotted Beyonce in the perfect little black dress and she is absolutely fabulous.
Beyonce Wears Perfect Little Black Dress
There are some fashions that should be found in every woman’s closet and one is the perfect little black dress. That is because it does not matter the season a LBD (little black dress) will always look modern and chic. It literally never goes out of style. Therefore, if you want a garment that is trendy and will outlast other trends a black dress is the way to go.
Beyonce turned up the heat with her black gown by incorporating another hot 2017 trend, cut-outs. Cut-outs are the perfect way to add a slight touch of sexiness. Moreover, Bey kept her accessories to a minimum so as not to overpower her LBD. She finished her look with a choker, ring, thigh high boot heels, matching black handbag and silver earrings.
Hair Notes: When your dress has that sauce you don’t need to overdo it. Think like Beyonce and fashion those locks into a voguish chignon. Add drama like Queen Bey by creating a deep middle part and leaving some face framing strands to flow freely. The result will be beautiful and alluring.
