Gucci celebrates its 100th anniversary in the name of Creativity, Sustainability and Humanity O ne hundred years ago, this year, leather Craftsman and Entrepreneur Guccio Gucci founded the eponymous Maison in his hometown, Florence. He certainly never could imagine how great the destiny of this latter could be. Property of the global luxury group Kering, owned by French billionaire Entrepreneur FrançoisHenri Pinault since 2004, Gucci has become one of the world’s leading luxury fashion brands. The Italian duo in charge since 2015 is at the heart of a truly modern fairy tale. Creative Director Alessandro Michele and President and Chief Executive Marco Bizzarri are writing the future of the Florentine Maison with genius and efficacity. They have literally propelled Gucci into the third millennium by looking at the coming decades with a new eye and a new heart and by celebrating Creativity, Innovation and Italian craftsmanship. But also Sustainability and Humanity. Gucci is no more a luxury brand only. It is much more. A real way of life shared by a growing worldwide community. By Hélène Battaglia - Photos © Gucci
