What’s your opinions and images of Gucci? Just the name conjures up images of la dolce vita-Cinecitta stars strolling on the Via Condotti; Jackie O and her signature bag; the Studio 54 chant “Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci”; Tom Ford’s sexy, minimalist era, during which stars and socialites lined up to wear his clothes; and now the fresh and joyous vision of Frida Giannini, the line’s new creative director.

Gucci by Gucci opens the fabled house’s archives for the first time, bringing together-in the form of bags, clothes, accessories, and a dazzling cache of documentary photographs-the history of the Florentine family-owned saddler that has imprinted its name on the fashion consciousness. Both a history of the company and a glorious visual exploration of its far-reaching influence, the book is a treat for the collector and the fan.
