Gucci was founded by Guccio Gucci in Florence, Tuscany in 1921. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Gucci company became one of the world’s most successful manufacturers of high-end leather goods, clothing, and other fashion products. Tom Ford was promoted to the position of creative director in 1994 and infused the brand with an overt sex appeal that couldn't be found on any other runway.

More recently, visionary designer Alessandro Michele was appointed as creative director in 2015 and has turned Gucci into a maximalist dream with ruffles, crystals and pop culture references, returning Gucci’s ‘it’ status in fashion. Evolving the houses codes to be ultra-modern, vintage-inspired and everything in between, Michele has married his eclectic aesthetic with character and quirkiness, reviving the Italian fashion house and to represent the pinnacle of Italian craftsmanship.
