Almost every one of the biggest luxury brands in the world has at least one iconic signature and for the world’s largest Italian brand, Gucci, the GG is one of the most recognizable besides the family crest, the bamboo and the flora.

Created in the early 60s, Gucci GG icon has been transformed from a mere initial of the founder, Guccio Gucci into one of the most prominent symbols for luxury. The icon has also been modified into numerous variations and printed onto materials ranging from fabric to velvet, steel, precious metals and leathers.

Gucci has a special place in my heart since Tom Ford days and will always do. Maybe it also has something to do with my love for vintage but revisiting old archives and pictures of old Gucci products never fails to excite me. Anyone from Gucci who is reading this, i do hope to get the invite to your precious archive one day. I love Florence too much anyway.
