The Gucci Fall 2011 lookbook is the latest offering for fans of the collection. We covered the preliminary looks at the fall and pre-fall lines, so the sophisticated bohemian-chic aesthetic each image embodies shouldn't be a surprise.
Model Nimue Smit dons layered menswear-inspired pieces that range from crisp trousers and belted blazers to three-quarter-length double-breasted coats, floppy hats, furry 70s jackets and matchy-matchy turquoise suits. Over-the-knee boots also make a return for Fall 2011 in super-tight suede.
Other recognizable fashion themes in the Gucci Fall 2011 lookbook include cowl-neck and cable-knit sweaters, oversized handbags and boot-cut corduroy pants. I'm a huge fan of the photos in which Smit wears a floppy hat -- when worn with the menswear-influenced suits, she looks completely badass.
