Brand/Designer Info:
Gucci was founded in 1921 by Guccio Gucci in Florence, Italy. Under the direction of Guccio’s son Aldo, Gucci became a worldwide known brand, an icon of Italian luxury and style. Following family feuds in the 1980’s, the Gucci family was entirely ousted from the company that so proudly bears their name, and the Gucci brand suffered. The turnaround in fortune is credited to the hiring of Tom Ford in 1990, already regarded then as a wildly talented young designer.
Tom Ford was appointed Gucci’s Creative Director in 1994 and is considered to be the designer who truly revitalised Gucci. His vision saw Gucci become renowned for a sleek, innovative, and often controversial aesthetic incorporating hypersexual designs and campaign imagery. His sleek, minimalist ‘90s designs were a massive commercial success, and celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, and Madonna were all photographed wearing his pieces on the red carpet. Tom Ford left Gucci in 2004. He was succeeded at Gucci by Frida Gianni who’s previous role had been Fendi’s handbag designer.
