GUCCI

Gucci is an iconic Italian luxury fashion brand founded in 1921 by Guccio Gucci in Florence, Italy. Known for its bold, eclectic, and often extravagant designs, Gucci has become one of the world’s most recognizable and coveted luxury brands. Initially, it began as a small leather goods store, offering high-quality luggage and accessories, but over time it expanded into ready-to-wear clothing, shoes, bags, and other luxury goods.

Gucci’s signature aesthetic often features distinctive elements such as the interlocking “GG” logo, green and red stripes, horsebit hardware, and a blend of retro and modern styles. Under the direction of creative leaders like Alessandro Michele (who served as the creative director from 2015 to 2022), Gucci transformed into a cultural powerhouse, blending contemporary trends with the brand’s storied history. Michele’s designs incorporated a mix of gender fluidity, vintage influences, and bold color schemes, attracting a younger, fashion-forward audience.

The brand has also been influential in setting trends in both high fashion and streetwear, leading collaborations with artists, musicians, and even tech companies. Gucci’s commitment to sustainability and ethical practices in recent years has further cemented its place as a forward-thinking luxury house.

Gucci is part of the Kering Group, one of the leading luxury conglomerates globally. Its global presence includes boutiques in major cities like Milan, Paris, Tokyo, and New York, and it continues to be a symbol of exclusivity, luxury, and cutting-edge fashion.
