thought-provoking essays, commentaries, and authoritative anecdotes
along with previously unpublished contemporary and archival photographs.
Published in conjunction with the opening of the new Gucci Museum in
Florence, Gucci is the ultimate celebration of the world-renowned
fashion house. Told through a loose grouping of words, concepts, shapes,
and moods, the book tells its story through new conceptual forms and the
free links between images, symbols, and objects. Edited by Gucci
Creative Director Frida Giannini, with essays and inserts by
contributors including Katie Grand, Peter Arnell, Rula Jebreal,
Christopher Breward and Stefano Micelli, Gucci: The Making Of is a
dynamic record of a much-coveted brand that will be a must this season
for anyone with a love of fashion and an interest in contemporary
culture. This comprehensive volume showcases the genius of the fashion
house through an exclusive lens with inside looks into the inspirations
behind the design.
This gorgeous book designed by Arnell offers an in-depth look into
Gucci's origins, identity, influence, and innovation, including
fabrication methods and appropriation of signature materials, past and
present, and its influence among high society and Hollywood. The book is
a heartfelt and personalized tribute to the heritage and influence of
this iconic, multifaceted brand.
In recognition of its ongoing partnership with UNICEF and the release of
this luxury edition, Gucci will make a donation of US $250,000 to
support UNICEF's Schools for Africa initiative.
