GucciвЂ™s unique ability to remain relevant and at the forefront of pop culture writ large inspired creative director Alessandro Michele to create the Gucci 100 collection, which honors the brandвЂ™s place in the cultural zeitgeist. Dapper Dan of Harlem famously pirated Gucci during that decade, setting in motion a streetwear craze for the GG logo and making it synonymous with palpably cool street style. Founded in 1921 as a leather goods company specializing in luggage and handbags for elite Italian travelers, Gucci has undergone countless reinventions over the years-notably in the вЂ™80s, when it became the go-to brand for musicians, especially American rappers. Gucci celebrates an epic milestone this year: 100 years of being one of the worldвЂ™s premier fashion labels.
