Gucci - The Making Of

Gucci The Making Of is a must-have for every fashion lover. Personally I always have been ambivalent about the brand: it seems to move between the poles of Italian vulgarity and true style/beauty. But Gucci is fascinating regardless of aesthetic preferences. The thing I love about this book is that it looks like your average coffee table tome (which it is at one level) but is overflowing with information and essays which place the fashion house in the right context. As a historical overview the book is extremely thorough: everything from business, shops, advertisements, signature symbols and patterns is presented in illustrations and text. I only have three minor points of criticism: I would have liked to see more reproductions of the legendary 1997 Mario Testino campaign. There is a slight overexposure of contemporary celebrities wearing Gucci towards the end of the book. And lastly I find it questionable the way fragrances like the great but discontinued Nobile are written out of history in the perfume chapter.

Looks very fancy outside and very interesting inside about the the story of Gucci with photos and materials. Love it!

Informative, photography superb, covered so many areas i will really recommend it to everyone who loves brand and high luxury…
