Gucci, a company that begin in 1921, has been an dominant name in fashion since the mid 20th century. It is a French owned company currently, but had its roots in the Italian design market nearly 100 years ago. They started with the idea that Italian leather was the next big thing, and that their quality would make it an unsurpassed value. Today, they are leaders in the design field and they have everything from hand bags, to shoes, so fine formal gowns that float along the Red Carpet. Their accessories are trend setting, and companies tend to follow suit after what Gucci has produced, in order to capitalize on the next big thing.

Pucci on the other hand did not start as a fashion company. Emilio Pucci was more a jack of all trades, master of none type. He assisted the Italians during the war with his military service, he studied agriculture, and fashion was an accident. He thrived on Geometric shapes, and began to use a fabric that we would consider the first Spandex. For the 1940′s this was a huge sensation, and he began to create everything from ski wear, to bathing suites, to silk scarves. All of his designed embodied his love of geometric shapes and colors. Today that still holds true. Since his death in 1992, is company has continued to produced high grade fashions under the directional care of his daughter, and the Louis-Vitton group.

Gucci and Pucci have brought the world some Italy’s most genius creations, and they continue to do so through creative design, and the fundamental philosophy that the original vision will still be honored. Today, the worlds elite regard these two designer lines as basic necessities to accessories or contribute a flash of style, along with a sense of originality, to any beautiful piece of clothing.
