Description
Hachette | Little Book Of Gucci
One of the oldest Italian fashion brands, Gucci was founded in Florence in 1921. Guccio Gucci’s goal was to create opulent luggage for Italy’s wealthy and fashionable upper classes. With its signature dark brown diamonds on a tan background, interlocking G logo, and red and green stripe, the brand has become synonymous with Italian luxury.
Gucci’s signature items - the belt, the bag, the loafer - transcend fleeting fashion trends, remaining central to the house’s identity. Under Tom Ford, Gucci epitomized the louche 1990s aesthetic. Today, under Alessandro Michele, the brand’s combination of romance and toughness is in high demand. The Little Book of Gucci tells the story of this historic yet flourishing house and the visionary looks that have cemented its place in fashion history.
