Florence Welch gets Gucci tour outfits

9th June 2011

(Cover) - EN Star Style - Florence Welch will be dressed by Gucci for her North America tour this summer.

Frida Giannini, the label's designer, has announced the fashion house will design a range of stage costumes for the flame-haired beauty.

Giannini has previously cited the Cosmic Love singer as one of the main inspirations for Gucci's Autumn/Winter 11 collection.

"When Florence first came onto the scene, I was captivated by her eccentric style and her willingness to dare," Giannini said in a statement. "I felt there was such an authentic energy to her sound and her look... she was truly an inspiration for this collection as a modern day icon with her cinematic allure and powerful presence."

A sketch of one the outfits shows a burgundy coloured diaphanous gown with a flower embellished neckline and revealing thigh split.

Florence, who is known for her vintage-inspired style, is understandably over the moon with the collaboration.

"I was extremely flattered when I heard that Frida's collection had been inspired in part by my performances and I was completely bowled over by her collection, the dresses seemed perfect for my shows, the colours, the shapes, the movement in the fabric," she said. "So it seemed natural that we work together on creating some pieces... I can't wait to get dressed for the stage!" (C) Cover Media
