The collaboration process between Gucci and Peter began a month before New York Fashion Week in January, at Peter’s design studio. They poured over Peter’s inspiration board as Gucci began mixing pigments together on the spot, creating the perfect shade to complement his collection. “My fall collection was all about rich textures and deep saturated colors – P.S. Kiss is the perfect bold stroke to go with the clothes, but it is still elegant and easy,” says Peter. Backstage at Bryant Park on the day of the show, Gucci and her team painted P.S. Kiss onto the lips of Coco Rocha, Chanel Iman, Jessica Stam and the other top models walking in Peter’s show. “Peter is such a gentleman and he’s so talented, so the process was really delightful,” says Gucci. “I think the color we came up with is reflective of his clothes—modern and sophisticated, and very pretty.”
