Gucci Book: The Art of Silk Assouline
Description
Gucci: The Art of Silk tells the extraordinary story of the House of Gucci's silk scarves — the very first book dedicated to the subject. Thanks to exclusive access to the Gucci archives, located in a 15th-century Florentine palace, this book traces the unique history of this iconic accessory, from its creation to its successive revivals under the guidance of artistic directors Tom Ford, Frida Giannini, Alessandro Michele, and Sabato De Sarno.
As they turn the pages, readers will discover how these scarves have sometimes shaped and reflected the destiny of the House itself: the Gucci family's ambitions to become the modern-day Medici, the influence of Renaissance Florence, the continuity between craftsmanship and creativity — with previously unpublished images inside the Gucci workshops —, the power of celebrity and aristocracy, as well as the role of contemporary art, highlighted here through a glimpse of the latest "90x90" silk scarf project: nine limited-edition designs created by thirty-eight leading artists.
The book's case and cover feature Gucci's most famous print, the "Flora" motif, which brings together forty-three varieties of flowers, plants, and insects, in thirty-seven different colors, all painted entirely by hand.
Sumptuously illustrated, with reports made in Florence, Milan, and Como, Gucci: The Art of Silk offers a lush visual ode to silk scarves, the artisans who designed them, the icons who wore them — and explains why these accessories have become iconic pieces in the fashion world.
