An unprecedented publication showcasing Gucci as never before, including thought-provoking essays, commentaries, and authoritative anecdotes along with previously unpublished contemporary and archival photographs.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.

One of the greatest books about business I've ever read. The story of Guccio Gucci and his Legacy not only inspires but gives hope to the common fellow. It is a living Testimony of not coming up in a waxen wealth family and being able to build an empire of one of the most luxurious brands Celebrities, First Ladies, Hollywood and the world has ever seen.

I Love THISSS BOOKKK !!!!!

I have never ever EVER been so excited to share my opinion on a book , First of this book isn't about the designer brand , Also this book is very boring in the beginning but gives it time, This book I would recommend for my cousin because he is a very patient and curious person i have seen him wait 2 months for a package that never came.

This is my second table book, and let me tell you, I LOVE this book. It is one of the table books on the bigger side, but it is full of colour, great pictures, and great pieces of information. Definitely a must have if you like collecting table books.

Like many, this is a coffee-table piece for me. I love it because it is a hefty substantial size, with each page containing a great pop of color, large pictures, and interesting information. This book has sparked my collection of large, graphic, luxury table books.
