Little Book of Gucci: The Story of the Iconic Fashion House (Little Books of ...

Description

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. One of the oldest Italian fashion brands in existence today, Gucci was founded in Florence in 1921. Guccio Gucci established his company with the goal of creating opulent luggage for Italy's wealthy and fashionable upper-classes. With the signature Gucci print of dark brown diamonds on a tan background, interlocking G logo and red and green stripe, the brand has gone on to become the last word in Italian luxury. Gucci's signature items – the belt, the bag, the loafer – transcend fleeting fashion trends, and have remained central to the house's identity into the twenty-first century. Under the stewardship of Tom Ford, Gucci epitomized the louche and mischievous 1990s aesthetic. Today, under Alessandro Michele, the brand's combination of romance and toughness is in hot demand.

So I couldn't wait to return to the states and was happy to find on desertcart. I have 3 and they are a fun addition to an open shelf styled outside my primary closet. When you need a pop of color, add some reading material or interest to that powder room, office, guest room, dorm room. The possibilities are endless and they are so cute. These are a GREAT bang for your buck! Review: Great book series! - Small in size if you are not familiar with this book. However, it is part of a large collection of fashion designer books and the collection is very good. I recommend all books in this series.
