Top Fashion Brand Gucci

GuccioGucci was born in 1881 in Florence, Italy. Guccio began his career in 1906,opening The House of Gucci, a saddle and leather goods store. As timeprogressed (the automobile became a more prominent form of transportation thanhorseback) so did his products and clientele. Guccio began selling luxury leathergoods and accessories, however, his roots can still be seen- for instance, theiconic Gucci horsebit.

In 1938 Guccio openedanother location in Rome. During the next fifteen years he designed many of themost well known Gucci handbags and accessories to date such as the bamboohandle Gucci bags.

Guccio also developed the signature Gucci green and redwebbing, taken from the saddle girth, in the early fifties.

When Guccio died in1953 his sons Aldo, Vasco, Ugo and Rodolfo took over the company. Despite familydisputes, Gucci continued to flourish, opening stores in Milan and New York. Inthe 1960's Gucci became firmly embedded in the American consciousness whenJackie Kennedy began carrying a Gucci bag which quickly became known as the"Jackie O". It was during the 60's that the classic GG Gucci logocame into being.

Unfortunately, duringthe late 1970's it seemed that the famed Gucci history may have been coming toan end. Vehement family fighting and many poor company decisions diluted thebrand, taking away Gucci's luxury status and thrusting the company into seriousfinancial jeopardy.

Revitalization for thecompany came in the form of Tom Ford, who in 1995 took creative control of thedying company and brought it back to its former glory and then some. Ford leftGucci in 2004. Creative control is now held by Frida Giannini. If you areinterested in a more detailed Guccibiography click here.
