Gucci: The Art of Silk tells the story of the House's extraordinary silk scarves, the first title of its kind to do so. With exclusive access to the Gucci Archive, located in a fifteenth-century Florentine palace, the book traces an unusual history of this iconic accessory, from its birth to its rebirth by a number of Gucci creative directors, such as Tom Ford, Frida Giannini, Alessandro Michele and Sabato De Sarno. In these pages, readers will discover how scarves have sometimes made and reflected the fortunes of the Maison itself: how the Gucci family aspired to be modern Medici; the impact of Renaissance Florence; the continuum of craftsmanship and creativity - with images never seen before in Gucci ateliers; the power of celebrity and aristocracy; and the role of contemporary art, highlighted here through a preview of Gucci's latest silk scarf project, "90x90", nine limited edition scarves by thirty-eight avant-garde artists. The box and cover of the book feature Gucci's most famous print, the "Flora", which contains forty-three varieties of flowers, plants and insects in thirty-seven different colors, all painted entirely by hand. Richly illustrated in every part, with reportages in Florence, Milan and Como, Gucci: The Art of Silk tells a sumptuous visual history of silk scarves, together with the people who made them and those who wore them, and explains why these scarves have become some of the most iconic accessories in the fashion world.
