Long before trend-bucking creative director Alessandro Michele brought his hallucinatory “Utopian Fantasy” campaign to Gucci, it was a modest Italian leather shop. Today, it’s an internationally renowned luxury house with an iconic logo, and vintage Gucci clothing, handbags and shoes are among high fashion's most covetable goods.
Guccio Gucci (1881–1953) admired the stylish suitcases he saw wealthy guests arrive with at the Savoy Hotel in London, where he worked as a bellhop. So, in 1921, after a stint at Franzi, a luggage company in his hometown of Florence, he opened a leather goods shop of his own.
At first, Gucci’s Florence business specialized in equestrian accessories. But as its reputation flourished, particularly among the English aristocracy, so too did its footprint. In 1938, he brought three of his sons — Aldo, Vasco and Rodolfo — into the business and expanded it to Rome and later Milan. In the mid-1930s, a League of Nations embargo against Italy pushed Gucci to experiment with alternatives to imported leather. Its woven hemp fabric from Naples, adorned with the brand’s signature diamond print, was a hit, especially among A-list celebrities. The material was first used on suitcases before finding enduring popularity on handbags. (No list of revered designer purses would be complete without Gucci.)
In the 1950s, Elizabeth Taylor carried one of Gucci’s bamboo-handled tote bags, another adaptation to material rationing. After Jackie Kennedy was seen sporting a slouchy Gucci tote in 1961, it was renamed for the First Lady. Then Grace Kelly, on a visit to the boutique in Milan, inspired Rodolfo Gucci to work with Italian illustrator and Gucci textile designer Vittorio Accornero on the Flora print in 1966. Taking cues from Sandro Botticelli’s Primavera, with its pattern of flora and insects, it was painted entirely by hand and featured no fewer than 37 colors.
In 1953, just 15 days after opening his first store on New York’s 5th Avenue, Guccio passed away at 72. The early 1970s saw store openings in Tokyo and Hong Kong, but by the late 1980s, Gucci was floundering. Rodolfo Gucci took charge in 1982, but family drama and lawsuits ensued. In 1993, Rodolfo’s son, Maurizio, transferred his shares in the company to Investcorp, ending the family’s involvement in Gucci. Dawn Mello, then-president of Bergdorf Goodman, joined as creative director in 1989. But it was Tom Ford, who took over as creative director in 1994, who ultimately revived the brand.
Ford’s racy ads, shot by photographers such as Mario Testino, stirred controversy. And his potent vision of sexed-up femininity — with “jewel-toned satin shirts unbuttoned to there,” as Vogue described his breakthrough 1995 runway show — was wildly successful. The new millennium brought new ownership — Pinault Printemps Redoute in 2004 — and a more toned-down vision from Frida Giannini, who became sole creative director in 2006. Alessandro Michele was named creative director in 2015, and the storied brand took a giant leap forward.

Gucci Vintage Black Leather Frilled Dress by Frida Giannini, IT 40
By Gucci
Located in Berlin, DE
A striking black leather dress from Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2014 collection designed by Frida Giannini. Crafted in Italy from supple black leather and fully lined in silk, this elegant Gucci dress features intricate horizontal leather frills across the bodice and shoulders, creating a sculptural and architectural silhouette that reflects the refined glamour of the Frida Giannini era at Gucci. The bodice is constructed from finely layered, precision-cut leather bands that are delicately gathered and tiered. This technique creates subtle texture, depth, and movement while maintaining a sleek, body-contouring shape. The frilled panels add a tactile quality to the surface, catching the light beautifully and enhancing the leather’s natural sheen while preserving the clean, modern lines. The skirt is smoothly tailored for contrast, allowing the complexity of the upper construction to stand out while elongating the figure. A discreet hidden zipper at the left side ensures a seamless finish and uninterrupted silhouette. Pieces from Gucci’s Frida Giannini period (2006–2014) are increasingly sought after for their sophisticated balance of classic Italian tailoring and contemporary design. Details • Designer: Gucci by Frida Giannini • Collection: Fall/Winter 2014 • Made in Italy • Size: IT 40 • Material: Black leather with silk lining • Closure: Hidden black zipper at left side Measurements (laid flat) • Shoulder to hem: 92 cm • Chest: 41 cm • Waist: 33 cm • Hip: 44 cm Condition Very good condition.
