Guccio Gucci, founder of the Maison, was born in Florence on March 26, 1881. In 1897, the young Florentine moved to London, where he worked as a porter at The Savoy hotel; the allure of the jet-set and the fascination with an affluent lifestyle and beauty drove him to open his boutique; Guccio was inspired by luxury and quality, gradually expanding the product range to include other fashion accessories such as bags, belts, and gloves. From there, the brand began its ascent toward great success.

A decisive year for the Gucci family was 1994: Tom Ford became the brand's creative director. During his 10 years at Gucci, Tom Ford revolutionized the label, infusing it with sensuality and glamour. Gucci became one of the most coveted brands, thanks to its cut-out dresses, metallic details, sensual silk shirts, and deluxe velvet gowns. Following the Tom Ford era, Frida Giannini and Alessandro Michele redefined the maison's style rules, consolidating Gucci as a maximalist, eccentric, and free-spirited brand. A new Gucci era opens with Sabato de Sarno, who revives soft, twilight nuances, nineties luxury, and minimal lines. Gucci cut-out dress
