GUCCI FAMILY SAGA
SET FOR TELEVISION SERIES ADAPTATION
French Gaumont will make a TV series about the rise of the iconic GUCCI brand which will follow the company’s beginnings with founder Guccio Gucci and delve into the conflicts that ensued within the fashion family dynasty that led to the sale of their empire. Gucci family will produce the series which starts with Guccio Gucci who worked as a bellboy at the Savoy Hotel in London, where he became inspired by the luxury leather suitcases carried by British aristocrats. In 1921, he opened his first retail location in Florence and his four sons were soon brought into the family business. Aldo, the eldest of the five sons, opened the first Gucci boutique in Rome in the 1930s. His intuition and innovative use of quality materials turned Gucci into the iconic brand.
Long-simmering family feuds over the course of the following decades ultimately caused the family-controlled brand to be sold in the early 1990s to French conglomerate Kering.
This sounds interesting, It sounds better than the film that was only 15% non-fiction when it came to the real Gucci.
ReplyDeleteYes, they denounced the film, but this one will be done with the family who says that does not mean they will whitewash their history.
DeleteI do like to watch things centered a round fashion, but Gucci really never interested me. It’s the brand that all the ghetto trash love to flaunt here. I may watch this as background noise though.
ReplyDeleteIt will certainly be more interesting than The New Look over at Apple, which is atrocious, more about Coco and war than about Dior and everybody is acting terribly in it.
