Gucci Icon-Temporary Store Launch – London

Mark Ronson is at it again. On Wendsday, the musician amoung many others celebrated the second stop in a four city tour for the musician’s collaboration with Gucci on a limited edition concept flash sneaker store.

If you have been a longtime follower of the site, you will know that Mark Ronson has been on my radar, and I like to pay close attention to what he wears. For some time now, we have seen the DJ making bold steps in Gucci pieces, most of which coming from the glam rock inspired Fall 2009 collection. As anticipation built for the launch of Wednesday’s Icon-Temporary launch, I was eagerly waiting to see if Mark would do what seems to be impossible for him, and let go of Fall 2009 and step into Spring 2010.

Arriving to the opening of the flash store in a white cotton honey comb half net lined palma jacket with matching pants, Ronson certainly did not let me down, as the suit was one of the statement making opening looks to the Gucci Spring 2010 collection.

As most of you might now, Mark has a knack for mixing and matching pieces, instead of wearing the complete runway look. That being, the Dj went back to the house’s Fall 2009 show and opted to replace the runway’s grey helikite printed muslin skinny shirt with a black and white polka dot button-up that featured a contrast collar. Perfectly matching his very own self-designed sneakers.

The Night’s Looks

Ben Hudson – Gucci Fall 2009

Ben Hudson (aka Mr. Hudson) may have beaten Mark at being the first to be spotted out in the Gucci Spring 2010 collection, but the British R&B/pop artist looked to one of Ronson’s favorite collections for his look of the night.

Taking a very daring risk, Hudson does it anything but play it safe in a glimmering lurex suit, initially presented on the runway only as single-breasted jacket. Changing the runway skinner scarf to a fuller red.

Matthew Stone – Gucci Spring 2010

Known to make runway mixes for Garth Pugh runway presentations, fellow British DJ Matthew Stone joined Ronson in his Spring 2010 conquest.

Wearing the red optical two tone palma evening jacket with matching pants that closed the Gucci Spring 2010 show, Stone surly made it his mission to stand out that night, even if he turned the runway’s red v-neck into a black button-up.

Geordon Nicol – Gucci Spring 2010

Also along for the Spring 2010 ride, Misshapes member Geordon Nicol takes a page from the collection’s use of blue. Pairing an indigo silk v-neck and cotton stretch skinny pants, with a black and cobalt inca pattern silk and wool scarf. Completing his look with black leather sole moccasins that feature dark blue snakeskin, light grey leather, and dark grey crocodile.

Patrick Wolf – Gucci Fall 2009

Following the launch of the store at the after party for the night’s festivities, held in Soho at the renowned Jazz club Ronnie Scotts, English singer-songwriter Patrick Wolf not only preformed, but also wore a suit once worn by man of the night Mark Ronson.

Wearing a blue micro-houndstooth Gucci Fall 2009 suit that featured black zips and buttons, the musician gave Ronson a run for his money, as Mark was spotted in the suit last year attending his sister’s Spring 2010 runway showing.

Theophilus London & Sam Sparro – Gucci Fall 2009

Also attending and performing at the after party for the Icon-Temporary launch, music men Theophilus London and Sam Sparro both alike wore Fall 2009 looks once worn by Ronson.

Keeping cool, calm, and causal, Theophilus opted to only where the jacket to the collection’s salt & pepper shadow bouclé skinny suit. Sparro went classic wearing a simple union poplin skinny shirt that was worn by Mark on three separate occasions, under a timeless black suit.
