Tonight Alessandro Michele, the creative director of Gucci, will receive the International Award at the CFDA Fashion Awards here in New York. This recognition is perhaps all the more fitting considering the jet-setting Michele just took the Italian fashion house across the pond to present its Resort 2017 collection at the storied Westminster Abbey. After the show and in advance of the ceremony, Michele rang up Vogue.com Fashion News Director Chioma Nnadi from London. Here, they discuss why he was drawn to the British landmark, how it feels to be winning the award in the Big Apple, and what it’s like to be one of the most Googled designers on the planet (along with his tips for staying grounded).
