The Gucci Fall/Winter 2014 campaign, starring Abbey Lee Kershaw, features some of the sleekest styles seen in several years. Each ensemble showcased in the campaign invokes a sense of secretiveness, almost as if Kershaw were a spy going undercover while wearing designer shades.
After looking through this campaign, it's clear that the Gucci Fall/Winter 2014 collection was at least partly inspired by the romanticizing of international spies. With franchises like the James Bond series, or films like Angelina Jolie's 'Salt,' many people have fantasized about heading into training at the FBI or the CIA, becoming one of the most feared personages in the world.
Each ensemble featured in the Gucci campaign works within a black color palette. Thick-rimmed sunglasses, elegant scarves and a sleek, gelled-back hairstyle all serve to enhance the feeling of secretive, undercover spy work.
