For Gucci's 2019 cruise show, the high-end brand picked a dramatic setting at a Roman cemetery that is now a promenade. Designer Alessandro Michele blended the brand's now-recognisable gothic styles into street-style friendly pieces. For their more extravagant clientele, Gucci threw in a generous splash of crepes and silks. Models showcased the creations walking on the makeshift ramp that was split by treacherous tongues of flames. Overall, the tone and setting were spooky and hair-raising.

While the runway was split by licking flames of fire, the tombs of notable Roman citizens bordered it. The soundtrack also beat in rhythm to the surroundings and oil hoots and choral music reiterated the feeling of being in a graveyard. (Source: AP)
