About the Designer
If Tom Ford brought the sexy back to
Gucci, designer Frida Giannini has brought the commercial appeal back to
the luxury Italian fashion house. Ford helped revitalize Gucci, one of
the most famous fashion brands in the world founded in 1921 by Guccio
Gucci, during his 10-year stint there—his breakout fall 1995 collection
entailed velvet hip-hugger pants and satin shirts. Indeed, during Ford's
reign, Gucci was on the lips of everyone fashionable. Today Giannini's
designs veer toward a hip, young audience—featuring bright, trendy
clothes to wear to work and beyond and must-have handbags like the
updated Jackie bag.
