While Gucci's fall '08 collection conjured up visions of a hippy-chic revival with the combination of folk textiles & detailed handwork/tapestries - it also brought to mind Pysanka-- traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs.
The Hutsuls (Western Ukranes) believe that the fate of the world depends upon the Pysanka... As long as the egg decorating custom continues, the world (and those in it) will exist. A fitting comparison when you consider the number of people who believe that, as long as Gucci continues producing new collections, the world of fashion stands a fighting chance.
I don't know about all that, but I'm a fan.
