Picture the late-nineties nerd and what first comes to mind is a gangly teenage boy in khaki flood pants playing Dungeons & Dragons. Imagine, instead, a small girl in cropped plaid flares and a matching blazer, sobbing at the optometrist\u2019s office. That would be nine-year-old me, a skinny kid teased at school\u2014for wearing a fuzzy mink bomber instead of a North Face, for carrying a plastic binder of Pok\u00e9mon cards\u2014miserably holding a new pair of wire-rim frames.<\/p>\n
I thought of that little four-eyed loser last February when I saw Alessandro Michele\u2019s Gucci debut. The Gucci of my youth, of course, was the height of the Tom Ford era\u2014slinky white jersey and little black dresses, all cool and confident. But here, Michele seemed to say, was the 21st-century Gucci girl, an eccentric, fresh-faced weirdo who wasn\u2019t afraid to wear backless fur-lined loafers, to personify the idea of \u201cugly pretty.\u201d<\/p>\n
