"Gucci's All-Inclusive Fancy Dress" by Vanessa Friedman is about the type of fashion she witnessed while attending a fashion show.  The fashion show contained a mix of punk and ideals taken from the past era. The inspiration taken from the different eras created a look that remembers the past while embracing the present.
