How else to explain the gaiters paired with heels at Fendi, the duck boots at Hogan or the scene at Prada?where models stomped out in high-heeled, high-fashion leather versions of Wellington boots and waders chic enough to keep a real angler current...

But Gucci's execs also knew that Giannini was a genius with handbags?fashion's red-hot commodity.
