LONDON — Frida Giannini has been laying low, but is finally ready to step back into the spotlight, on her own rock star terms.
The former Gucci creative director has been working on Hypernova 150, a bespoke collective from Liberty London celebrating the department store’s 150th anniversary. As the creative director of the project, she’s designed 40 pieces of ready-to-wear that span from dresses and coats to accessories.
It’s a Giannini project from the heart. She’s invited her friend and ‘90s model, Yasmin Le Bon to feature in the campaign to the soundtrack of “Girls on Film” by Duran Duran. The model is married to the lead vocalist Simon Le Bon.
“No one else was making me feel butterflies in my stomach [the way Liberty did]. Liberty has always been my final destination in London
