'Gigli’s impact on fashion went beyond clothes; he proposed a nuanced way of looking at femininity, at a time when womens’ roles were in flux....

He balanced the extreme romanticism of his work with a dandyish androgyny......

Gigli built another kind of freedom into his clothes with materials and construction. He abhorred zippers, preferring button or wrap closures, and he listened to and respected his materials in a way that has been compared with Mariano Fortuny.'
