Gucci wide suede belt by Frida Giannini from the Spring 2007 Ready to Wear collection. Modeled by Freja Beha Erichsen (Look 13).This purple suede belt features three tones of purple and a detailed silver-tone three buckle closure with the Gucci logo engraved in the buckle. The interior is a tan suede with the Gucci Made in Italy stamped. During Frida Giannini’s era at Gucci (2002–2015), wide suede belts became signature pieces, defined by rich textures, 1970s-inspired glamour, and classic Gucci hardware like the double G buckle and bamboo accents. Today, these belts are prized vintage finds for their quality and timeless Gucci codes.For Spring 2007 Ready to Wear, Frida Giannini sharpened Gucci’s look by pulling it away from overt sex appeal and grounding it in clean, graphic silhouettes. Wide suede and leather belts became key, cinching dresses and tailoring with an effortless confidence that felt modern and wearable. As fashion critique Sarah Mower noted, the collection “looked best when Giannini stuck to graphic shifts,” letting accessories, especially belts do the talking.
