Gucci just made fashion history by staging their Cruise 2017 show in the famous Gothic church, Westminster Abbey.

It is the first time the historic location has staged such a show and allowed the 13th Century architecture to be turned into a catwalk.

Gucci’s latest collection is in homage to London’s history and this was not only reflected in the venue, but also in the eclectic and always colourful clothes.

With mix and match prints, head scarves and glasses galore, the British heritage inspired designs looked like a jazzed up version of something The Queen would actually wear.

The garments perfectly merged english vintage elements with Gucci’s iconic eccentric modern prints to create one magical collection.

The extravagant show also had an extremely star-studded FROW. British fashion icon Alexa Chung looked pretty in pink as she sat with American Rapper A$AP Rocky.

Meanwhile, Georgia May Jagger, Will I Am, Salma Hayek and Elle Fanning were also perched on the ornate front row cushions. Blimey, what a line up.
