History
What first comes to your mind when you think of Gucci? The scandalous silhouettes and impressive ad campaigns with Tom Ford at the helm? Or Frida Giannini’s feminine and distinctly Italian designs featuring a floral print? Or maybe a bold, quirky and androgynous aesthetics from Alessandro Michele? But long before these genius designers were running the show at Gucci, the iconic Fashion House got its start as a humble leather shop back in 1921. Founded in Florence by Guccio Gucci, a son of an Italian merchant, the brand specialized in leather accessories, inspired by Guccio’s days working within luxury hospitality at the Savoy, London. From the 1950s onwards, the brand has become renowned for its extravagant, luxurious designs and experienced amazing success amongst Hollywood stars.
Over a span of a century, Gucci has passed through a lot of things: family feuds and re-establishing harmony, failures and ground-breaking campaigns, a near-bankruptcy and legendary turnarounds… Gucci has survived whatever the world has thrown at it and the allure of the brand is enduring. Today, it is one the most famous and influential luxury brands in the world that creates some of fashion’s most sought-after pieces.
