Almost fifteen years after the collection debuted, the metallic waist still feels unmistakably modern. Pair it with minimal heels and a sharp coat, or ground it with flat boots and a pared-back leather jacket. The kind of archival design that keeps finding a new life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom the Archive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nowfashion.com\/media\/gucci-ready-to-wear-spring-summer-2012-milan-fashion-week-runway-009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eGucci Spring\/Summer 2012 — runway Look 9 (NOWFASHION)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.premiere.fr\/People\/PHOTOS-Nicole-Kidman-VS-Cate-Blanchett-la-quarantaine-et-deux-styles-differents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ePeriod coverage of Nicole Kidman wearing the Gucci design at Tropfest (Première)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRunway and celebrity links document the design’s fashion history; they do not establish ownership or alterations of this specific garment.
