Sexy Italio Disco Sunrise at GCDS

Dateline: GCDS SPRING SUMMER 24 “MEDITERRANEO” Fashion Show. Milano, Italy. September 22, 2023

GCDS first caught my attention with their last runway show that featured Spongebob and Patrick Star. SpongeBob SquarePants is My granddaughter-Adalyn and my favorite show to watch on a lazy Saturday morning on Oahu.

GCDS’ founder and creative director is Giuliano Calza. And the GCDS acronym stands for Giuliano Calza Design Studio. Pink is their signature color. In 2017 CGDS had their international debut on an amazing Pink Runway. They propagate our world by fusing pop culture, the Luxe-Life and Italian craftsmanship into one big bold cutting-edge creative collective.

In 2020, GCDS led the way with the first runway show in the metaverse. Virtual attendees included: Amina Muaddi, Dua Lipa & Hello Kitty, all sitting in the FRONT row!

Many celebrities enjoy this sophisticated high-end streetwear label including: Beyonce, Sophia Loren, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.

in 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, GCDS was the first brand to put on a runway show in the metaverse, earning the digital cover of Dazed. Sealing the digital show’s success were Amina Muaddi, Dua Lipa and Hello Kitty, among others, sitting (virtually) in the front row

GCDS ALIEN DISCO. Spring/Summer 2023 Fashion Show. Rotonda della Besano, Milan. September 22, 2022. Creative Director: Giulano Calza. Music: Francesco “Katoo” Catitti.

My brain totally goes a bit dyslectic with the brand name. Half of my notes have CGDS and the others have GCDS. And sometimes I even think the name is short for Comme Des Garcons. After watching the video and taking some pix, I finally have the GCDS name grounded into my brain. Partially due to the vibrant, electric, hues of Fluorescent Green, Yellow and Pink! And by one of my favorite TV show characters who lives under the sea…SpongeBog SquarePants. Wow! what a splendid surprise! *BTW: GCDS is an Italian streetwear fashion line. The name stands for Giuliano Calza Design Studio.

This is the kind of show, that brings joy to your sensory being. The Colors, the joyous Music, the Club vibe and even the name of the Show, Alien Disco gives it an extra boost of entertainment value.

Although, there is some disappointment when the models don’t seem to be smiling or enjoying the event as much as the music and clothes. Maybe there’s some hidden meaning in that? I do know that there is a tad bit of political upheaval in Milan that the designer is expressing in the show. Maybe he is showing his disapproval through the models stone cold faces?

Highlights of the GCDS show include:

• The colorful clothing
• Ultra distressed rips and tears
• The Music and the color changing globe
• Fun Vibe throughout
• and of course…SpongBog SquarePants!

Ol’ Bob can be seen on a purse, on a Hi-End colorful hockey jersey, across the chest of one of the models and my favorite…riding a Jelly fish on a luxury dress

There are so many rich luscious colors, that when you see the lady in the jeans and plain top, it’s like What is up? But…just wait till she turns around in the video of the show, you’ll see quite a surprise!

From the show notes we find a bit more about the Alien. The Feeling of being Alien is a common one. Sometimes we feel Alien in the places once were home. GCDS turns this feeling into a Joyous Force, embracing everyone’s colors.

Here’s a few pictures of the over the top distressed rips and shreds of the colorful clothing on the models:

Check out the video below, hopefully the Vibe, the Music and the Colorful clothes help you to have a most excellent day or night…above or under the Sea

In case you forgot the words to the SpongeBob theme song, here is a video to sing along with:
