Gucci: The Art Of Silk

A complete compendium on Gucci's iconic silk scarves, this title explores the history, future, and legacy of the Italian luxury house's signature accessory. Worn by the likes of Jackie Kennedy, Queen Elizabeth II, Harry Styles, and Demi Moore, Gucci's most famous scarf is the Flora (first designed as a gift for Princess Grace of Monaco in 1960), a motif which appears on the cover of the book. In these chapters, readers will discover the most significant pieces, all in one place for the first time, through exclusively commissioned photography. The book also provides an intimate tour of Gucci's archives in a 15th-century Florentine palazzo, plus a review of its various creative directors' interpretation of the scarves—think Tom Ford, Alessandro Michele—and a look at the brand's newest collaboration: nine scarves from nine cutting-edge contemporary artists set to be unveiled this spring.
