Gucci, Rock Star Of Fashion And Style

By Gary Reed


Wardrobe, ranging from clothes to accessories to shoes and bags has become a way of life for many. You cannot just ignore it, nor live without it. You wear them everyday. Every person somehow nurtures a certain need for looking good. Or at least, looking comfortable but pleasing enough to go outside.

The streets is becoming the runway of everybody. There is just to much to take, when it comes to style, and this had been made possible by High Street and High Fashion houses. Out of all of them, Gucci, is arguably the most beloved, and right so. Going back to the 1920s, they have earned it.

You have to be aware of this high end brand so that you can understand why the price comes of as insane to others. Most of the time, their stores expect mostly the elite class to come in. That is understandable but they also show their pieces to any customer, no matter how much someone can appear to be as just another window shopper.

A lot of times, it may even be the first brand name you have heard of as a child. For sure your mother has talked about it at one occasion, maybe more. About their high end bags and sought after shoes, no one can miss it. At least, no woman aware of trends will.

The company and the man responsible for it are considered legends in the business. The rock star of the fashion world, safe to say, is Guccio. If that is not catchy enough nothing else is. The first shop he opened was based in his home country, in the city of Florence, Italy.

After being inspired by celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, he designed luggage bags and more leather goods with the help of skilled craftsmen. Within a few years, he was able to build a reputation for himself and founded the brand house soon after. Quite good for someone who risked it but he was meant to do so, with his creative vision.

Then came the 1930s when everybody made horse racing in Europe a favorite past time, especially among the rich. This inspired him to start designing hardware and later on shoes, resembling horse bits and made for equestrian activities. The shoes became sought after by the elite circle and the house gained success yet again.

To date, the loafer shoes are the only ones on display at a museum in New York. Since the brand is famous with bags, it pays to know that it was the first to produce a bamboo bag which is iconic and a company mainstay to this day. Fast forward to the 90s, the image of the company was compromised when copies of its wares spread like wildfire everywhere.

It has earned its reputation quite well, because of the creativity of its founder. Living up to its name, the brand has become one of the best, if not the most respected fashion house in the world. They have moved on to a collaboration with other well known designers and rightfully so. When you hear the name, there is really no further questions asked.
