Gucci: The Art of Silk tells the story of the House’s extraordinary silk scarves, the first title of its kind to do so. Given exclusive access to the Gucci Archive, located in a fifteenth-century Florentine palazzo, the book charts an unusual history of this iconic accessory, from its inception to its revivals by a succession of Gucci creative directors, namely Tom Ford, Frida Giannini, Alessandro Michele, and Sabato De Sarno.

The book’s slipcase and cover 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. Lavishly illustrated throughout, with reportage in Florence, Milan, and Como, Gucci: The Art of Silk tells a sumptuous visual tale of silk scarves, together with the people who have made them and the people who have worn them.
