Gucci

Author Name: Karen Homer

From its founding in Florence in 1921 as a supplier of luggage to the elite to its modern status as a purveyor of accessories and haute couture, the House of Gucci is a titan of the luxury fashion world. Over the past century, Gucci's signature leather goods and opulent clothing have elegantly combined opulent design, united under the coveted double G. The Little Book of Gucci tells the story of the brand's beginnings as a luxury luggage and equestrian dealer, recounting how the family overcame divisions and wartime hardship to be reborn as a couture giant in the 1990s and, under the current stewardship of Alessandro Michele, leave its mark on streetwear and a new generation of fans. More than 100 exquisitely curated images showcase Gucci's sharp, sensual designs, confirming its position as the most influential label of our time.
