AceShowbiz - Kate Moss made a striking comeback on the Gucci runway during the brand’s Milan show, captivating the fashion world with a daring gown that revealed a signature thong detail. The British supermodel, 52, closed the event held at Palazzo Delle Scintille, wearing a sparkling black turtleneck dress with sides cut low enough to showcase her thong and the two swallow tattoos on her lower back.

This runway appearance was a significant moment for Kate Moss, who had not walked for Gucci in nearly 30 years. Her last show for the house was Tom Ford’s Spring 1997 collection, an iconic moment that introduced the now-legendary interlocking-G thong to high fashion. Ford’s provocative design featured models both male and female wearing the revealing G-string, which sent shockwaves through the fashion industry at the time.

The recent Gucci show, titled “Primavera” after Botticelli’s famous painting that inspired the Gucci Flora fragrance, was the debut runway presentation for Demna as the new creative director. The collection heavily referenced the slinky silhouettes and skin-baring styles reminiscent of the Ford era, embracing a bold and sensual aesthetic.

Alongside Kate Moss, the runway featured other high-profile models including Emily Ratajkowski, Karlie Kloss, and Vivian Wilson. These models showcased Demna’s first collection for Gucci, which combined sleek cuts and nostalgic nods to the house’s past with a modern edge.

The gown worn by Kate Moss was especially noteworthy for leaving her entire back exposed, highlighting the two sparrow tattoos flanking the Gucci logo just above her thong. This detail reinforced the full-circle nature of her return—echoing the provocative spirit of her last Gucci appearance in 1997.

Before joining Gucci, Demna spent ten years as creative director at Balenciaga, where he gained acclaim for conceptual and theatrical runway shows. His transition to Gucci marks a new chapter, blending his signature avant-garde style with the brand’s rich history.

The Gucci thong itself has seen a resurgence in recent years, with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Solange embracing the archival piece starting in 2019. The look has since become a staple on celebrity red carpets and social media. For example, Lori Harvey was spotted wearing a bikini version of the G-string during a Mexico vacation last September. Similarly, Hailey Bieber stunned in a custom Gucci crystal gown with an exposed matching thong at the GQ Men of the Year party just two months later.

With Demna leading Gucci’s creative vision, the barely-there underwear that originally made waves in the 1990s has been revived on the runway where it all began. Kate Moss’s return in this iconic style not only celebrates Gucci’s provocative legacy but also reaffirms her enduring influence on fashion.
