Lenny Kravitz Lets Gucci Rule

Posted Apr 18th 2008 2:23PM by Sonya Magett
Filed under: Lifestyle, Style and Beauty, Style Spotter

Rocker Lenny Kravitz' love for fashion has garnered him an enviable product placement that most musicians would covet -- he is being outfitted by Gucci with an array of custom and Fall '08 collection clothing for his upcoming tour.

Starting May 29 expect to see Kravitz donning 20 head-to-toe Gucci looks for his "Love Revolution" tour.

Kravitz is a great fit for the Italian brand; his personal style parallels some of their lineup including fitted pants, slick leather jackets, fur-trimmed bombers and hippie references such as long scarves tied around the waist. The tour will promote his latest album "It's Time for a Love Revolution", which dropped in February.

Will Frida Giannini, Gucci's second Creative Director post-Tom Ford's departure deliver a strong set of custom looks?

The industry has been abuzz that Gucci has become quite demure since Ford's exit with less racy magazine ads and more wearable, retail-friendly designs. Ford's vision surely would have been a perfect match for Kravitz considering their penchant for exposing chest hair from sporting unbuttoned shirts down to their navel.

Either way, Kravitz will kill it with tons of hit songs and massive style. I am in the building.

The actual Gucci look on the runway. Very Lenny.

1. LENNY IS ONE OF THE BEST (MULTI-TALENTED) ARTIST/MUSICIAN 2 EVER EXIST....HE'S CONSISTENT & INNOVATIVE

Beth at 3:35PM on Apr 19th 2008

2. lenny can wear almost anything that he want, he has maintained the medium framewell

lenny.t at 3:57PM on Apr 19th 2008

3. Lenny is my favorite musician of all time. He is a sexy mutha-sucker, lover of rock n roll, a passionate and comfortable "in his skin" kind of guy. We are lucky to call him a true man.

4. ONE OF MY FAVORITES IN TERMS OF STYLE

stacey at 5:49PM on Apr 23rd 2008

5. Lenny is the only man, that I have ever seen wear a pink boa, and make it look masculine. He looks almost as good in his clothes as I do! (and that's saying a LOT!)

ComelyKC at 5:49PM on Apr 23rd 2008

6. The brotha' gets away with some wild shiggy, clothes wise, but I gotta hand it to him - He pulls it off, and well.His singing doesn't really move me - I'm mainly funk /R&B - but I do honestly like a lot of his stuff. He's muti-talented, and has obvious cross-over appeal - which is rare as hell these days. So more power to Lenny for snagging this deal.

7. He looks good though casual. I like his style. Maybe his Hipness will rub off on the younger generation and get them into some clothes with style that fit their rear ends. I like that he is so non-chalant, that comes from being aware of who he is and not trying to be someone else. Go Gucci.

8. Lenny U could wear anything and hold it down because your just simply fine baby, I am In Luv with the hold package

LoLa at 11:12AM on Apr 26th 2008

9. Lenny I don't care what you wear
I just want to touch your hair
I read once you were into regular girls,
What about the girl who loves your curls?
I would love to do what I can do,
lathering and massaging your hair with shampoo..
Next time your in Houston baby I'll come to you!

The Best of Me Always,

10. LENNY'S IMAGE REMINDS ME OF JIMI HENDRIX. I WAS DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH JIMI HENDRIX. LENNY'S STYLE AND PRESENCE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS AS AESTHETIC AS JIMI HENDRIX WAS IN THE 60'S AND 70'S. LENNY IS BEAUTIFUL AND REFRESHING LIKE A WATERFALL.

TELA at 1:09AM on Apr 27th 2008

11. I LOVE LENNY K. LISTENING TO HIM NOW....HE CAN WEAR ANYTHING...HE IS AGELESS A TOTAL ROCK STAR

INEK at 12:29PM on May 8th 2008
