An unprecedented publication showcasing Gucci as never before, including thought-provoking essays, commentaries, and authoritative anecdotes along with previously unpublished contemporary and archival photographs. Published in conjunction with the opening of the new Gucci Museum in Florence, Gucci is the ultimate celebration of the world-renowned fashion house. Told through a loose grouping of words, concepts, shapes, and moods, the book tells its story through new conceptual forms and the free links between images, symbols, and objects. Edited by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini, with essays and inserts by contributors including Katie Grand, Peter Arnell, Rula Jebreal, Christopher Breward and Stefano Micelli, Gucci: The Making Of is a dynamic record of a much-coveted brand that will be a must this season for anyone with a love of fashion and an interest in contemporary culture. This comprehensive volume showcases the genius of the fashion house through an exclusive lens with inside looks into the inspirations behind the design.
This gorgeous book designed by Arnell offers an in-depth look into Gucci’s origins, identity, influence, and innovation, including fabrication methods and appropriation of signature materials, past and present, and its influence among high society and Hollywood. The book is a heartfelt and personalized tribute to the heritage and influence of this iconic, multifaceted brand.   
In recognition of its ongoing partnership with UNICEF and the release of this luxury edition, Gucci will make a donation of US $250,000 to support UNICEF's Schools for Africa initiative.

{PRETITLE} GUCCI: The Making Of {POSTTITLE}

Another new fashion book that has been recently released, and it's again thick and heavy but loaded with fantastic photos. There are also various essays chronicling the history and the rise of Gucci as a powerful label. I haven't delved deep into the text but the few parts that I've read were interesting. The overall quality of the book is spectacular and the photos are large and very clear. There are also some sub-chapters written on a different size and color of paper acting like supplements and some of them reproduce historical records or magazine columns. The only thing that I didn't really like was the multiple shots depicting the current Creative Director Frida Giannini. Granted that she is a talented woman and she is the editor of this book, but that doesn't justify placing her first when chronicling the history of those who held the same position and preceded her, but this is just me. With that being said, this is a highly recommended addition to any fashion library and a beautiful coffee-table book as well.

This book is true Gucci quality. Shows photos of their famous styles over the years, many many years. Big and heavy book for a great price. I saw it at a book store and then checked Amazon.com. I had to buy it on Amazon because it was 50% lower. You will love this book if you like Gucci quality. Also, inspiring young fashion designers would love it. I also bought the Chanel book and it is awesome also, not as big as Gucci but same inspiration.
