In the 1950s and '60s, under the guidance of Guccio's sons, Gucci made a global leap. The brand conquered Hollywood and the jet set: Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, and Jackie Kennedy became spontaneous ambassadors of the brand. Icons such as the Bamboo Bag, featuring a handcrafted bamboo handle, the horsebit loafer, and the Jackie bag defined the aesthetic of modern luxury and became status symbols.

The 1980s were complex due to internal conflicts and financial difficulties, but in 1994, the arrival of Tom Ford as creative director marked a historic rebirth: Ford introduced a sexy, minimal, and provocative style that brought Gucci back to the center of the fashion system.

In 2006, Frida Giannini reinterpreted the historical codes with a more romantic and feminine touch, while in 2015, Alessandro Michele once again revolutionized the maison with a maximalist, vintage-pop, literary, and inclusive aesthetic, transforming Gucci into a cultural and generational phenomenon.

Since 2023, the creative direction has passed to Sabato De Sarno, who has inaugurated a new aesthetic vision: more essential, contemporary, and sensual.
