The latest Gucci collection was shown off over the weekend. The show was all about glitz and glamor. That's a throwback to the 1980's when, as Gucci designer Frida Giannini puts it "Going out was a way of life."

Inspiration for fall-winter 2009-2010 -- with its skin tight trousers, spiked heels and shimmering evening wear -- was the 1980's model and fashion icon Tina Chow.

The silhouette is long and lean with emphasis on the leg. Dresses are thigh-high miniskirts even higher and leggings often replace trousers. Long gowns disappear for evening to be replaced by crystal studded T-shirts worn over silk leggings.

The latest Gucci boot is a high-heeled shoe with an incorporated leather legging. Booties are also paired with silk leggings.
